Modes of Heat Transfer

Conduction

Convection

Radiation
Conduction:
Heat is transferred from the hotter part to the colder part in a
body without involving any actual movement of the molecules
of the body.

Thermal conductivity:
Thermal conductivity is a property that describes a material's
ability to conduct heat. It is denoted by K and has the SI units
of W/m·K.

Convection:
In this process, heat is transferred in the liquid and gases from a
region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.
Convection heat transfer occurs partly due to the actual
movement of molecules or due to the mass transfer.

Newton’s law of cooling:

Where:
Radiation:
Heat is transferred from one body to another body without
involving the molecules of the medium. Radiation heat transfer
does not depend on the medium.
Radiation heat transfer b/w two surfaces is always taking place in
3 stages:

Stefan Boltzmann Law:
The total radiation energy emitted by black body per unit area
per unit time is directly proportional to fourth power of absolute
temperature of the black body

Same as:

By adding equation (1), (2) and (3)
