Thermal boundary layer
 Similar to a velocity boundary layer, a thermal boundary layer
must also develop for a fluid flow over a surface if the fluid
free stream and surface temperature differ.


The flow of a fluid at a uniform temperatureT over
an isothermal flat plate at temperatureTs. The
fluid particles adjacent to the surface reach thermal
equilibrium with the plate and assume the surface
temperature Ts. These fluid particles then exchange Thermal boundary layer on a flat
plate (the fluid is hotter than the plate
energy with the particles in the adjoining fluid
surface).
layer, and so on.
 As a result, a temperature profile develops in the flow
field that ranges fromTs at the surface to T sufficiently
far from the surface. The flow region over the surface in
which the temperature variation normal to the surface is
significant in the thermal boundary layer. The plate is hotter than the fluid.
Thermal boundary layer

The thickness of the thermal boundary layer t at any location
along the surface is defined as the distance from the surface at
which the temperature difference T Ts  0.99T Ts .

 Special case: Ts  0

T  0.99T
Thermal boundary layer on a flat

analogous to ).the velocity boundary layer plate (the fluid is hotter than the plate
surface).

 The convection heat transfer rate along the surface is given by


k T / y y 0
h f
T  T 
Thermal boundary layer
 Therefore, the shape of the temperature profile in the thermal
boundary layer dictates the convection heat transfer between
a solid surface and the fluid flowing over it.

 The thickness of the thermal boundary layer increases in


the flow direction, but heat transfer coefficient decreases
with increasing x. Why?
 Temperature distributions may be obtained by applying
energy balance and discussed next for a flow over heated
surface.
Significance of boundary layers
 The velocity boundary layer is characterized by the
presence of velocity gradients and shear stresses.

 The thermal boundary layer is characterized by


temperature gradients and heat transfer.

 The main outcomes of boundary layers are surface


friction and convection heat transfer, which are dictated
by skin friction coefficient, Cf and the heat transfer
coefficient, h.
Review: Governing equations related
to convections
 Conservation equations:
- Mass conservation -----> continuity equation,
- Momentum conservation -----> Navier-Stokes equations,
- Energy balance -----> Energy equation.

 Mass balance:

(Rate of mass flow into the control volume)


= (Rate of mass flow out of the control volume)

 This equality gives the continuity equation:


u v 6
 0
Review: Governing equations related
to convections
 Momentum balance:
 Applying Newton’s second law of motion:

(Mass) (Acceleration in a specified direction)


= (Net force (body and surface) acting in that direction)
Or,

 m.ax  Fsurface,x  Fbody,x

 This equality after some calculation gives the x-momentum equation:


 u u  p  2u 2 u 
u v    2
 x y  x  x 2 
Review: Boundary layer
approximations

In this case, x-momentum equation reduces to,

 u u  p  2u
 u v   2
 x y  y
x equation becomes,
But, y-momentum
