fundamental process of heat transfer

There are three fundamental processes by which heat is transferred. Fluids usually act differently with other matter on Earth. In this case, heat transfer between fluids hold separate process because of its property. This kind of heat transfer process is termed to as conduction. In conduction, the heat moves internally because the fluid does not flow. The atoms and molecules vibrate independently, thus, electrons carry heat fast. Metals for example are good conductors of heat because they contain free electrons that move randomly.
