 heat transfer .

 Heat transfer can be defined as the transmission of heat

energy from one region to another as a result of temperature
difference

4
 The modes of heat transfer
 conduction, convection and radiation.
 Heat conduction is due to due to the vibration of
molecules.(solids)
 Heat convection is due to movement of matter.(fluids)
 Heat radiation is due to electromagnetic radiations.(no need
of medium eg sun to earth)

5
 Fourier’s law of heat conduction
 Conductive heat transfer rate per unit area is proportional to
the normal temperature gradient:

 When the proportionality constant is inserted,

6
 qx - is the heat-transfer rate

k -is called the thermal conductivity of the material

(W/mK)
(as the temperature gradient is negative and - ve sign is
inserted to make the quantity positive)

7
 Newton's law of convective heat
transfer
 Convective heat-transfer rate is proportional to the
temperature difference between the wall and fluid and the
surface area.

 h- is called the convection hear-transfer coefficient W/m2K

8
 Radiation heat transfer
 Heat transfer in the form of electromagnetic radiation
 No medium required.

9
 Stefan-Boltzmann Law

 An ideal thermal radiator ( black body) will emit energy at a

rate proportional to the fourth power of the absolute
temperature of the body and directly proportional to its
surface area.

10
  A – surface area of the body
 T – absolute temperature

11
  The net radiant exchange between two surfaces will be
proportional to the difference in absolute temperatures to
the fourth power; i.e.,
