Heat Transfer

The Physics credentials document competencies in areas related to mechanics, materials, gasses and liquids, heating and cooling, acoustics, optics, electricity, and magnetism, radiation and nuclear physics, architecture, and a variety of related research and education areas. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain physics concepts by applying knowledge and solving problems related to heat transfer including conduction, convection, radiation, Newton's Law of Cooling, the Greenhouse Effect, the physics of climate change, applications in solar power, and controlling heat transfer.
