Question

When an ice pack is applied to an injury, thermal energy from the injured area transfers to the ice, causing the blood
vessels within the area to constrict, which reduces the swelling.
How is thermal energy transferred in this scenario?
a conduction
b convection
c radiation

Answer 1

Thermal energy from the injured area transfers to the ice and the thermal energy transferred in this scenario is conduction.

What is Heat transfer by conduction?

Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of heat through matter such as  solids, liquids, or gases without bulk motion of the matter.

The  ice pack absorbs the heat energy without the actual movement of the molecules of the ice pack.

Thus, thermal energy from the injured area transfers to the ice and the thermal energy transferred in this scenario is conduction.
