The density of a fluid goes down (becomes less dense) when heat is applied.

This question requires density to answer. Density is a ratio of mass to volume, and is dependent on temperature. Materials do have variable density based on temperature. The equation for density is mass/volume.
An increase in temperature causes thermal expansion which increases the volume. This cause a decrease in density. Except in the case of water between 0 and 4 degrees C, where increased temperature results in a contraction and so increased density.
It depends entirely on what the initial temperature and volume of the water is and how much heat is applied.

As a fluid gets hotter, its density generally decreases. This is because heat causes the fluid molecules to move faster and spread out, leading to decreased packing and therefore lower density. This relationship is known as thermal expansion.
Heat transfer can affect the fluid density at the nozzle exit, which in turn can impact the fluid velocity. An increase in heat transfer can lower the fluid density, resulting in an increase in velocity at the nozzle exit due to conservation of mass. Conversely, a decrease in heat transfer can raise the fluid density, leading to a decrease in velocity.
As heat is applied to a substance, its density typically decreases. This is because the increase in temperature causes the molecules to move more rapidly and thus spread out, leading to a decrease in the density of the substance.
Volume is increased so density is decreased.
If heat is applied to a confined fluid, the temperature of the fluid will increase, which will cause the fluid to expand. This can lead to an increase in pressure within the confined space, potentially causing the container to rupture if the pressure exceeds its limits.
When you heat aluminum, its density decreases. This is because the atoms in the metal vibrate faster and more energetically, which causes them to spread apart slightly. The increase in volume with temperature causes a corresponding decrease in density.
Heat transfer by convection is caused by differences in temperature and density within a fluid. As a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser fluid sinks. This movement creates circulation patterns that transfer heat throughout the fluid.
When heat is applied, the density of a substance generally decreases because the particles gain more energy and move farther apart, increasing the volume. Mass remains constant unless there is a chemical reaction or phase change.
It would be convection. Convection occurs when heat is applied to a fluid.
The volume will increase as the fluid is warmed up.
This phenomenon is known as natural convection, where heat transfer occurs in a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of the fluid caused by differences in density. In natural convection, warmer, less dense fluid rises while cooler, denser fluid sinks, creating a natural circulation pattern that transfers heat.
When heat and pressure are applied to sandstone, the grains of sand compress and fuse together, leading to recrystallization of minerals and the formation of a new rock called quartzite. This process results in the sandstone becoming more compact, harder, and more durable.
