| Conductor | a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this. |
| Convection | the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. |
| Energy | the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. |
| Heat Transfer | the internal energy present in a system due to the kinetic movement of its atoms and molecules |
| Kinetic Energy | energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion |
