Objectives of our study:

 Mechanism by which heat is transferred in different

heat transfer modes.

 Parameters involved that influence the heat transfer

rate

 Rate of heat transfer and total quantity of heat transfer

over a certain period of time.

Conduction:
 It is a mechanism by which heat flows from a region of
higher temperature to a region of lower temperature within
a medium without changing the position of molecules.

 Conduction is the transfer of heat through solids or

stationery fluids.

--Conduction through solids occurs by a combination of the two

mechanisms;
lattice vibration and particle collision.

 Heat is conducted through stationery fluids primarily by
molecular collisions.

 Rate of heat conduction through a medium (in particular

direction say x-direction) can be expressed in differential
form by Fourier's law of heat conduction.

Where,

K = Thermal conductivity of material,

which is a measure of ability of a
material to conduct heat.
A = Cross-sectional area perpendicular
to heat flow.
dT/dx= Temperature gradient in T-s diagram

Convection:

It is a study of the heat transfer process caused by the flow of

fluids and is a mode of heat transfer between a solid surface
and a liquid or gas. Rate of heat transfer is predicted by
Newton’s law of cooling.
Qconv = h .As (Ts –Tα)
Where
h = Heat transfer coefficient, W/m2.˚C
As = heat transfer surface area, m2
Ts = temperature of the surface, ˚C
Tα = temperature of the fluid sufficiently far from the surface, ˚C

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.

 The transfer of energy by radiation does not require the

presence of any medium (Unlike conduction and
convection). Energy flows even in vacuum. Energy transfer
by radiation is fastest (at the speed of light).
