    Study Notes

    Modes of Heat Transfer

    • Heat transfer can occur through conduction, radiation, or convection.

    Conduction

    • Conduction is the transfer of energy between particles in a substance due to interactions.
    • The rate of heat transfer by conduction is quantified by Fourier's law.
    • The rate of heat transfer (Q x) is proportional to the wall area (A) and the temperature gradient (dT/dx)
    • Q x = −A(dT/dx)
      •  is the thermal conductivity of the material.
      • The minus sign indicates that energy is transferred in the direction of decreasing temperature.

    Thermal Radiation

    • Thermal radiation is energy transported by electromagnetic waves or photons.
    • It can occur through a vacuum without an intervening medium.
    • The rate of heat transfer by radiation is quantified by the Stefan-Boltzman law.

    Thermal Radiation

    • The net radiation exchange between a surface at temperature Tb and a larger surface at Ts (< Tb) is quantified by:
    • Q =  A[T 4 − T 4 ] e b s
      - Where A is the area of the smaller surface, -  is the emissivity of the surface -  is the Stefan-Boltzman constant.

    Convection

    • Convection is energy transfer between a solid surface and a gas or liquid by the combined effects of conduction and bulk flow.
    • The rate of energy transfer by convection is quantified by Newton's law of cooling.
