Hi:

There are 3 types of heat -- radiant, conductive, and convective.

The quantum of radiant heat [which is basically EM radiation] is the photon.

The quantum of conductive heat is the phonon.

What is the quantum of convective heat?

Thanks,

Radium

Phonons too.
Any fluid motion you want to think of
can be decomposed in normal modes,
hence phonons,
