The transfer of thermal energy is done through the process of heating. You would need to have good conductors of heat so as to transfer thermal energy.
Answer
The term, 'thermal energy' is obsolete. The modern term is 'internal energy' and it describes the sum total of all the energies (e.g. due to the vibration of the molecules, etc.) associated with any given body.
You cannot 'transfer' internal energy. Internal energy can only be increased or decreased.
'Heat', on the other hand, is defined as 'energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body'.
'Work' describes the process of converting one form of energy into another.
The change of a body's internal energy is the difference between the work done on that body and the heat transfer away from that body.

Thermal conductivity is the ability of an element to transfer what?
heat
What is the ability of an object to transfer heat?
thermal conductivity
Potential energy is the ability to?
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Energy is stored in the cells in the structures of molecules of substances such as carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

What does thermal conducter?
the ability of a material to transfer heat through it.
The ability of a material to transfer heat is?
Heat Conductivity.The word conductivity may also be used to refer to electrical conductivity, the ability to conduct/transfer electricity. Metals are good at both.
What property is required of a car radiator?
The ability to transfer heat energy.
The ability of a material to transfer heat or electric current is call what?
conductivity
The measure of ability of materials to transfer heat from one molecule to the next by conduction?
Conductivity.
The term heat conductivity is best defined by the ability of heat to do what?
Take Thermometer and put it in the hot water -Calculate Temparature-go with the formula of Conductivity of heat
Why is heat not matter i need to know for sicience homework?
Heat is NOT matter. Heat is not even energy. It is defined as the "transfer of energy", so it refers strictly to the PROCESS of the TRANSFER of energy. My prof explained this to me in class, apparently many people misunderstand this.
What is the ability to transmit electrical currents called?
The ability of a material to transfer heat or electric current is called conductivity.
