Conclusion

I hope you now see that heat transfer is not simply a topic to be studied in science class. It is something that occurs every second of every day and all around you - even within you!

If this lesson piqued your interest and you would like to explore more on this topic, I encourage you to try calculating the amount of money you spend each month on operating something electrical. This could be your computer, dvd player, stereo, hairdryer, microwave, television, etc. In order to do this, you will need to find out how much your electrical company charges (this is usually charged in kW/h). Once you figure out your monthly cost to operate, see how much you an save each month by cutting your usage of the chosen object. Have fun!
