Heat Transfer Basic
Heat as the form of energy that can be transferred from one system to another as a result of
temperature difference. A thermodynamic analysis is concerned with the amount of heat
transfer as a system undergoes a process from one equilibrium state to another. The science
that deals with the determination of the rates of such energy transfers is the heat transfer.

The transfer of energy as heat is always from the higher-temperature medium to the lower-
temperature one, and heat transfer stops when the two mediums reach the same
temperature.

Heat can be transferred in three different modes: conduction, convection,


and radiation. All modes of heat transfer require the existence of a temperature difference,
and all modes are from the high-temperature medium to a lower-temperature one.

PHYSICAL MECHANISM OF CONVECTION

Conduction and convection both require the presence


of a material medium but convection requires fluid
motion.
Convection involves fluid motion as well as heat
conduction.
Heat transfer through a solid is always by conduction.
Heat transfer through a fluid is by convection in the
presence of bulk fluid motion and by conduction in the
absence of it.
Therefore, conduction in a fluid can be viewed as the
limiting case of convection, corresponding to the case
of quiescent fluid.

Convection Heat Transfer
The fluid motion enhances heat transfer, since it brings warmer and
cooler chunks of fluid into contact, initiating higher rates of conduction
at a greater number of sites in a fluid.
The rate of heat transfer through a fluid is much higher by convection
than it is by conduction.
In fact, the higher the fluid velocity, the higher the rate of heat transfer.

fluid sandwiched between
two parallel plates.

Convection Heat Transfer
Convection heat transfer strongly depends on the fluid properties
dynamic viscosity, thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat, as
well as the fluid velocity. It also depends on the geometry and the
roughness of the solid surface, in addition to the type of fluid flow (such
as being streamlined or turbulent).

Convection heat transfer coefficient, h: The rate of heat transfer between a solid
surface and a fluid per unit surface area per unit temperature difference.

Nusselt Number
In convection studies, it is common practice to nondimensionalize the governing equations and combine the
variables, which group together into dimensionless numbers in order to reduce the number of total variables.
Nusselt number: Dimensionless convection heat transfer coefficient

Lc characteristic length

The Nusselt number represents the enhancement of heat


transfer through a fluid layer as a result of convection
relative to conduction across the same fluid layer.
The larger the Nusselt number, the more effective the
convection.
A Nusselt number of Nu = 1 for a fluid layer represents heat

Convection in daily life

• We turn on the fan on hot summer days to


help our body cool more effectively. The
higher the fan speed, the better we feel.
• We stir our soup and blow on a hot slice
of pizza to make them cool faster.
• The air on windy winter days feels much
colder than it actually is.
• The simplest solution to heating problems
in electronics packaging is to use a large
enough fan.
