By the end of the war, the term was well established and was used as a collective for the peninsula between India and China. The countries include Brunei, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Some organizations include the Phillipines in South-East Asia.
Energy transfer by heating. Energy can be transferred by conduction, convection, evaporation and condensation. All these processes involve particles. Conduction. Is the movement of thermal energy through a material without the particles in the material moving. Glass, wood and plastic are all poor conductors of heat. Heat is the kinetic energy of particles as they vibrate. If we heat the particles at one end of a material the particles at that end vibrate more (have more kinetic energy) and bump into the neighbouring particles which causes them to vibrate more.
Thermal energy is also known as internal kinetic energy. The transfer of thermal energy from one body to another is the result of temperature variations. Heat moves along areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. The three mechanisms for heat transfer include conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction takes place between solid objects, convection occurs in fluids and radiation directly transfers thermal energy from space.
