technique of cooling in which the object to be cooled is immersed in a liquid or gaseous coolant and the coolant flows over the object either naturally or forced Note 1 to entry: Forced convection cooling: technique for cooling by forced flow of a liquid or gaseous coolant around the object to be cooled. Note 2 to entry: Natural convection cooling: technique for cooling by a liquid or gaseous coolant flow due to the localized heating of the fluid near the surface of the object.
