Question

How does heat get from the stove burner into your soup?

Answer 1

Hint: The question is based on the concept of the types of heat transfer used. As the question statement involves fluid, that is, soup, so, using this, we will continue the explanation of the method of heat transfer used.

Complete answer:
The types of heat transfer are:
Conduction - The transfer of heat or the electric current from one substance to the other through the direct contact.
Convection - The transfer of heat or the electric current through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion.
Radiation - The transfer of heat or the electric current through the radiation or the transmission in the form of rays, waves or particles.
In this process of soup heating, firstly, the heat from the stove burner reaches the pan, and then from the pan, the heat gets into the soup. So, by the convection currents, the soup gets heated up.
In simple words - The soup is in a pan and the pan is placed on the stove burner. The heat gets transferred to the metal, that is, the pan from the stove burner, making the bottom of the pan hot. The hot pan conducts heat (convection currents) into the soup.
\[\therefore \]By convection method of heat transfer the heat gets from the stove burner into the soup.

Note:
As there is a direct contact between the pan and the stove burner and again there is a direct contact between the pan and the soup, there will be confusion regarding the heat transfer methods used, that is, conduction. Again, there is a fluid included in this process, that is, soup, so, there will be confusion regarding the heat transfer methods used, that is, convection.
