	: Convection would imply that the heat is rising to the top and escaping, while conduction implies that the heat is being transferred into the coolant. Logically, it conducts when in contact with a cold liquid, and convects when it just sits on it's own.

			:: Where do these implications come from? Both conduction and convection are forms of heat transfer. I was under the impression that convection is the transfer of heat over a medium which is moving (such as a fluid), technically it is a combination of heat transfer from advection and diffusion; and conduction is the transfer of heat over a medium (such as a solid), specifically heat transfer from the collision of vibrating molecules.
