convection

Noun

∙ The process of conveying something.
∙ The transmission of heat in a fluid or gas by the circulation of currents. physics
∙ The vertical movement of heat and moisture, especially by updrafts and downdrafts in an unstable air mass. The terms convection and thunderstorm are often used interchangeably, although thunderstorms are only one form of convection. Towering cumulus clouds are visible forms of convection. meteorology

BABYLON ENGLISH
convection n.
circulation of heat; thermal conduction, transmission of heat by circulatory movement in a fluid or gas that results in areas of different temperatures and distinctive densities which rise and fall in reaction to gravity (Physics); conveying, act of transmitting, act of transporting; (Meteorology) upright movement of heat in enormous motion inside the atmosphere

Convection
Convection is the concerted, collective movement of groups or aggregates of molecules within fluids (e.g., liquids, gases) and rheids, through advection or through diffusion or as a combination of both of them. Convection of mass cannot take place in solids, since neither bulk current flows nor significant diffusion can take place in solids. Diffusion of heat can take place in solids, but that is called heat conduction. Convection can be demonstrated by placing a heat source (e.g. a Bunsen burner) at the side of a glass full of a liquid, and observing the changes in temperature in the glass caused by the warmer ghost fluid moving into cooler areas.
