The question mentions a picture, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to see or analyze visuals. Therefore, I am unable to determine the type of energy transfer shown in the picture without further information.
heater sends hot air up, cools off while circling around the room, then enters the rheater
Based on the information given, the type of energy transfer shown in the picture is convection. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid or gas particles. In this case, the hot air rising from the heater and circulating around the room represents convection.
