... GCSE Coursework Thermal Energy Transfer Aim: To investigate the factors that effect the time it takes for a hot drink to cool down. I have decided to change the volume of the water for my investigation, using four different volumes. They were - 100ml, 200ml, 300ml and 400ml. Abstract After making a cup of coffee it loses heat because of the following factors: · Radiation · Conduction · Convection My investigation is to find out the rate of which heat transfer happens. Heat transfer is a process in which energy in the form of heat energy is exchanged between materials that are at a different temperature. Heat is generally transferred by conduction, convection, radiation. All of these processes can all happen simultaneously but it is likely that one will give the greater heat exchange. Heat is exchanged through the brick wall by conduction. The surfaces of a high-speed aircraft are heated up by convection.
