Study Notes
Heat and Mass Transfer
- Heat flows from high temperature regions to low temperature regions
- Heat flow is governed by thermodynamic principles
- Heat flows into or leaves a system during any physical or chemical transformation
Conduction
- Heat transfer within a body by momentum transfer of atoms/molecules without mixing
- Based on Fourier's law
Fourier's Law
- Heat flow rate through a uniform material is proportional to area and temperature difference
- Heat flow rate is inversely proportional to the length of the path
Convection
-
Forced Convection
- Fluid mixing is achieved by agitators, stirrers, or pumping for recirculation
- Heat transfer process is called forced convection
- Stagnant film coefficients are crucial for determining heat transfer rate
- Film coefficient quantifies heat flow through unit area for unit temperature drop
-
Natural Convection
- Fluid mixing due to density changes caused by temperature differences
- Depend on:
- System geometry (size, shape, heating surface arrangement)
- Shape of the vessel containing the fluid
- Observed when extracts are evaporated in open pans
Radiation
- Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves
- Thermal radiation is the heat transfer by radiation
- Various emitters are used to supply heat
- Examples of radiation sources, wavelengths, and applications are presented in a table format
Black Body
- Radiates maximum possible energy at a given temperature
- Hot bodies emit radiation (Stephen-Boltzmann Law)
- Total radiation amount is defined by black body
Grey Body
- Absorbs a certain fraction of any incident electromagnetic radiation
- The same fraction applies for all wavelengths
Conveyors
-
Belt Conveyors
- System of pulleys/drums with an endless belt
-
Screw Conveyors
- Mechanism with a helical screw blade (flighting) within a tube lifting material
-
Pneumatic Conveyors
- Bulk material transport in an enclosed tube by compressed air or another medium
-
Chain Conveyors
- Used to transport heavy loads like pallets, containers, grid boxes for material flow
-
Bucket Conveyors
- Consists of endless chains or belts with attached buckets for bulk material transport in horizontal, vertical, and inclined paths; buckets remain in carrying position until tipped to discharge
