What type of Heat transfer is found in a hair dryer?

There is an electrically heated element in the dryer. The heat generated in the element is transferred to the airstream mainly by forced convection. The same applies to the transfer of heat from the warmed airstream to your hair - it's by forced convection.





I'm sorry to perhaps confuse you by this answer contradicting all the others; I didn't like to see you being so blatantly misinformed!





By the way, the answer to your electric stove question is correct and comprehensive.|||As your previous question. The heat is created by electrical current flowing through wire, causing resistance and hence radiating heat.





Hope this helps again!|||Sorry, Skeeter doesn't need a hair dryer for his flowing locks so he wouldn't know. Why don't you try the lather, rinse, repeat* cycle?





*Always repeat for that silky, silky shine ;)





Secret #12


The only thing I fake is my tan|||The heating coil in the hair dryer transfers heat to the air that is blowing through it by conduction and radiation. The hot is then blown out of the hair dryer on to your hair transferring the heat to your hair by conduction.
