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.
