Objectives
When you finish studying this chapter, you should be able
to:
• Understand the basic mechanisms of heat transfer, which
are conduction, convection, and radiation, and Fourier's
law of heat conduction, Newton's law of cooling, and the
Stefan–Boltzmann law of radiation,
• Identify the mechanisms of heat transfer that occur
simultaneously in practice,
• Develop an awareness of the cost associated with heat
losses, and
• Solve various heat transfer problems encountered in
practice.
Heat Transfer
• The basic requirement for heat transfer is the presence
of a temperature difference.
• The second law requires that heat
be transferred in the direction of
decreasing temperature.
• The temperature difference is the driving force for heat
transfer.
• The rate of heat transfer in a certain direction depends
on the magnitude of the temperature gradient in that
direction.
• The larger the temperature gradient, the higher the rate
of heat transfer.
Heat Transfer Mechanisms
•Heat can be transferred in three basic
modes:
•conduction,
•convection,
•radiation.
•All modes of heat
transfer require the
existence of a temperature difference.
•All modes are from the high-temperature
medium to a lower-temperature one.
Conduction
• Conduction is the transfer of energy from the more
energetic particles of a substance to the adjacent less
energetic ones as a result of interactions between the
particles.
• Conduction can take place in solids,
liquids, or gases
• In gases and liquids conduction is due to
the collisions and diffusion of the
molecules during their random motion.
• In solids conduction is due to the
combination of vibrations of the
molecules in a lattice and the energy
transport by free electrons.

Application Areas of Heat Transfer
Thermal Conductivity
•The thermal conductivity of a material is a
measure of the ability of the material to conduct
heat.
•High value for thermal conductivity
good heat conductor
•Low value
poor heat conductor or insulator.
Thermal Conductivities of Materials
• The thermal conductivities
of gases such as air vary by a
factor of 104 from those of
pure metals such as copper.
• Pure crystals and metals
have the highest thermal
conductivities, and gases
and insulating materials the
lowest.
Thermal Conductivities and
Temperature
• The thermal conductivities
of materials vary with
temperature.
• The temperature
dependence of thermal
conductivity causes
considerable complexity in
conduction analysis.
• A material is normally
assumed to be isotropic.
Thermal diffusivity

  ( m2 s ) (1-23)
Heat stored cp

• The thermal diffusivity represents how fast heat


diffuses through a material.
• Appears in the transient heat conduction analysis.
• A material that has a high thermal conductivity or a
low heat capacity will have a large thermal diffusivity.
• The larger the thermal diffusivity, the faster the
propagation of heat into the medium.
Convection
Convection = Conduction (macroscopic
motion)+ Advection (fluid motion)
• Convection is the mode of energy transfer between a solid
surface and the adjacent liquid or gas that is in motion.
• Convection heat transfer occurs between a fluid in motion and
bounding surface when two are at different temperatures.
• Convection is commonly classified into three sub-modes:
• Forced convection,
• Natural (or free) convection,
• Change of phase (liquid/vapor,
solid/liquid, etc.)
Convection

• The rate of convection heat transfer is expressed by


Newton’s law of cooling as
Qconv  hAs (Ts  T ) (W) (1-24)
• h is the convection heat transfer coefficient in
W/m2°C.
• h depends on variables such as the
surface geometry, the nature of fluid
motion, the properties of the fluid,
and the bulk fluid velocity.
Radiation
• Radiation is the energy emitted by matter in the form of
electromagnetic waves (or photons) as a result of the
changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or
molecules.
• Heat transfer by radiation does not require the presence of
an intervening medium.
• In heat transfer studies we are interested in thermal
radiation (radiation emitted by bodies because of their
temperature).
• Radiation is a volumetric phenomenon. However, radiation
is usually considered to be a surface phenomenon for solids
that are opaque to thermal radiation.
Radiation - Emission
• The maximum rate of radiation that can be emitted from a
surface at a thermodynamic temperature Ts (in K or R) is given
by the Stefan–Boltzmann law as
Qemit ,max  s AsTs 4
(W) (1-25)
• s =5.670X108 W/m2·K4 is the Stefan–Boltzmann constant.
• The idealized surface that emits radiation at this maximum rate
is called a blackbody.
• The radiation emitted by all real surfaces is less than the
radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature, and
is expressed as
Qemit ,max  es AsTs4 (W)
(1-26)
0  e 1
• e is the emissivity of the surface.
Radiation - Absorption

• The fraction of the


radiation energy incident
on a surface that is
absorbed by the surface is
termed the absorptivity .
0   1

• Both e and  of a surface depend on the temperature


and the wavelength of the radiation.
