    Study Notes

    Heat Transfer

    • Heat Transfer is the movement of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures.
    • Thermal Conductivity (K) is the ability of a material to conduct heat.
    • Heat Flow Rate is the amount of heat transferred per unit time.
    • Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of heat loss from an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings.
    • Stefan-Boltzmann Law describes the power radiated by a black body, which is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
    • Emissivity is a measure of how well a material radiates energy like a black body.
    • Thermal Conductance is the rate of heat flow through a material per unit temperature difference.
    • Heat Capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius.
    • Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
    • Latent Heat of Fusion is the amount of heat required to melt a solid at its melting point.
    • Thermal Resistance is the inverse of thermal conductance.
    • Heat Flux is the rate of heat flow per unit area.
