Heat Transfer
 Conduction

● Particles simply oscillate but do not leave their

place.(except free electron)
● Medium is necessary
● It is a slow process
● Path of heat flow may be zig zag
● It takes place in Solids
● Temperature of the medium increases
Conduction
Example
A copper rod 2 m long has a circular cross-section area
of 2 cm^2. One end is kept at 100°C and the other at
0°C. The surface is insulated so that negligible heat is
lost through the surface. In steady state, find the rate of
heat flow. Take K=400 W/mK for copper.

(a) 2 W (b) 4 W (c) 8W (d) 16 W

Convection
● Each particle absorbing heat is mobile
● Medium is necessary
● It’s a slow process
● Path may be zig zag
● It happens in fluids
● Temperature of medium increases
Convection
 Radiation
● Heat flows without medium in the form
of EM Waves
● It’s a very fast process
● Path is straight line
● No change in the temperature of the
medium
 Radiation

Absorptive Power (a)

Emissive Power (e)

 Kirchhoff’s Law of Radiation

Good absorbers for a particular wavelength are

also good emitters of the same wavelength.

PYQ
A spherical black body with a radius of 12 cm radiates 450 W
power at 500 K. If the radius were halved and the temperature
doubled, the power radiated in watt would be

(a) 225 (b) 450 (c) 900 (d) 1800
