That word has over 20 definitions and you pick one that is irrelevant, just so you can snarl?Not bright enough to say what you mean.
Wuwei said:you said that the molecules in the gas just bounce. (I'm assuming by "bounce" you mean an elastic collision where atoms neither give nor receive any energy when contacting that surface.)
Yes of course we are talking about conduction.Since infrared radiation can not warm air, then conduction would be the only means...
You are stalling. Let me ask again:
How do you think a cold gas adjacent to a hotter surface can get heat from that surface since you said that the molecules in the gas just bounce (i.e. elastic collision.)
