Study Notes
Heat Transfer in Mechanical Engineering
Modes of Heat Transfer
- Conduction: transfer of heat between particles in physical contact
- Convection: transfer of heat through fluid motion
- Radiation: transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves
Conduction
- Depends on:
- Temperature difference
- Material properties (thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity)
- Distance between particles
- Fourier's Law:
Q = -k \* A \* (dT/dx)-
Q: heat transfer rate -
k: thermal conductivity -
A: cross-sectional area -
dT/dx: temperature gradient
-
Convection
- Types:
- Natural Convection: buoyancy-driven fluid motion
- Forced Convection: fluid motion driven by external means (e.g., pumps, fans)
- Depends on:
- Fluid properties (density, viscosity, specific heat capacity)
- Flow characteristics (velocity, turbulence)
- Surface roughness and orientation
- Newton's Law of Cooling:
Q = h \* A \* (T_s - T_f)-
h: convection heat transfer coefficient -
A: surface area -
T_s: surface temperature -
T_f: fluid temperature
-
Radiation
- Depends on:
- Temperature of emitting body
- Emissivity of emitting body
- View factor (geometry of emitting and receiving bodies)
- Stefan-Boltzmann Law:
E = ε \* σ \* T^4-
E: radiative heat flux -
ε: emissivity -
σ: Stefan-Boltzmann constant -
T: temperature of emitting body
-
Heat Transfer Modes
- Heat transfer occurs through three primary modes: conduction, convection, and radiation
Conduction
- Heat conduction occurs between particles in physical contact
- Factors affecting conduction:
- Temperature difference between particles
- Material properties: thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity
- Distance between particles
- Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction:
Q = -k \* A \* (dT/dx)- Heat transfer rate (Q) is proportional to thermal conductivity (k), cross-sectional area (A), and temperature gradient (dT/dx)
Convection
- Convection is the transfer of heat through fluid motion
- Types of convection:
- Natural Convection: buoyancy-driven fluid motion
- Forced Convection: fluid motion driven by external means (e.g., pumps, fans)
- Factors affecting convection:
- Fluid properties: density, viscosity, and specific heat capacity
- Flow characteristics: velocity and turbulence
- Surface roughness and orientation
- Newton's Law of Cooling:
Q = h \* A \* (T_s - T_f)- Heat transfer rate (Q) is proportional to convection heat transfer coefficient (h), surface area (A), and temperature difference (T_s - T_f)
Radiation
- Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves
- Factors affecting radiation:
- Temperature of the emitting body
- Emissivity of the emitting body
- View factor: geometry of emitting and receiving bodies
- Stefan-Boltzmann Law:
E = ε \* σ \* T^4- Radiative heat flux (E) is proportional to emissivity (ε), Stefan-Boltzmann constant (σ), and temperature (T) of the emitting body
Immunology in Microbiology
Overview of Immunology
- Immunology is the study of the immune system and its functions, focusing on defense against pathogens and disease-causing microorganisms.
Types of Immunity
- Innate Immunity: Provides non-specific, immediate defense against infection, using physical barriers (skin, mucous membranes) and cellular responses (neutrophils, macrophages).
- Adaptive Immunity: Offers specific, acquired immunity against specific pathogens, comprising cell-mediated immunity (T cells) and humoral immunity (B cells and antibodies).
Immune Response
- Recognition: Pathogen recognition occurs through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).
- Activation: Immune cells (e.g., dendritic cells, T cells) are activated in response to pathogen recognition.
- Effector Response: Pathogens are eliminated by immune cells and molecules (e.g., cytokines, antibodies).
- Memory Response: Long-term immunity against future infections is established.
Immunological Cells
-
T Cells (T Lymphocytes):
- CD4+ (Helper T cells): Activate immune responses.
- CD8+ (Cytotoxic T cells): Directly kill infected cells.
- B Cells (B Lymphocytes): Produce antibodies against pathogens.
- Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs): Dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells present antigens to T cells.
Immunological Molecules
- Antibodies (Immunoglobulins): Proteins produced by B cells to neutralize pathogens.
- Cytokines: Signaling molecules that coordinate immune responses (e.g., IL-2, IFN-γ).
- Complement System: A group of proteins that work together to help eliminate pathogens.
Immunological Disorders
- Immunodeficiency: Weakened immune system (e.g., HIV/AIDS).
- Autoimmune Disorders: Immune system attacks self-antigens (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus).
- Hypersensitivity Reactions: Overactive immune response to harmless substances (e.g., allergies).
