Convection caused by mechanical forces, such as those arising from air motion over a rough or sloping surface. 2, record 3, English, - forced%20convection
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Convection ... is a principal means of energy transfer. Distinction is made between free convection (gravitational or buoyant convection), motion caused only by density differences within the fluid; and forced convection, motion induced by mechanical forces such as deflection by a large-scale surface irregularity, turbulent flow caused by friction at the boundary of a fluid, or motion caused by any applied pressure gradient. Free and forced convection are not necessarily exclusive processes. On a windy day with overcast sky, the heat exchange between ground and air is an example of forced convection. On a sunny day with a little wind where the ground temperature rises, both kinds of convection take place. 3, record 3, English, - forced%20convection
