Question

Describe, in terms of density changes, heat convection in fluids.

When a fluid is heated at the base, it will expand, become less dense and rise.
The cooler fluid at the top being denser, will sink.
This continuous, cyclic movement of the fluid known as convection current will eventually heat up the entire whole fluid evenly

Expert Solution

Step 1

Convection heat transfer process is the transfer of heat from one place to other place by the movement of fluid due to change in density.
