Convection
(25)
Energy is a scalar quantity, and thus energy interactions in all directions can be
combined in one equation.
MEC 536 Heat Transfer by Convection

Energy Transfer by Mass
• The total energy of a flowing fluid stream per unit
mass is
(26)
•Noting that mass flow rate of the fluid entering the control
volume from the left is ρu(dy·1), the rate of energy transfer to
the control volume by mass in the x-direction is
(27)
(28)
• Repeating this for the y-direction and adding the results, the
net rate of energy transfer to the control volume by mass is
determined to be
(29)
(30)
(31)
Repeating this for the y-direction and adding the results, the net
rate of energy transfer to the control volume by heat conduction
becomes
(32)
• The work done by pressure (the flow work) is already accounted for
in the analysis above by using enthalpy for the microscopic energy
of the fluid instead of internal energy.
• The shear stresses that result from viscous effects are usually very
small, and can be neglected in many cases.
