Which correctly describes types of heat transfer?
A)Sensible heat transfer takes place from an area of higher temperature to one of lower temperature
B)Sensible heat transfer is the logical method
C)Latent heat transfer occurs only in steam
D)Radiation heat transfer is neither sensible nor latent
E)Latent heat transfer is easily measured

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensible heat transfer refers to the transfer of heat due to a difference in temperature and takes place from an area of higher temperature to one of lower temperature.

Answer: D 
 Radiation heat transfer is a form of heat transfer that does not involve the transfer of heat through a medium, and is therefore neither sensible nor latent.

Note: None of the other choices are correct. Latent heat transfer can occur in substances other than steam, and is not easily measured. Sensible heat transfer is not the logical method, but rather a specific type of heat transfer.
