Hi everyone, I’m an Indian student currently pursuing Mechanical Engineering. I have some doubts regarding a few concepts and hoping someone can help me out. Firstly, could someone explain the difference between static and dynamic equilibrium in mechanical systems? Also, I’m struggling with understanding the concept of heat transfer and its different modes. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between solids. Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Lastly, radiation is the transmission of heat through electromagnetic waves. Hope this clarifies things for you.
