Lecture 1
Spring 2018
Review of Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the science of energy.
Thermodynamics

Therme Energy Conversion Dynamics

(Heat) (Power)

• Work and Heat: Energy Interactions or Boundary Interactions.

• Thermodynamics is concerned with equilibrium states of matter.

• Determines amount of heat required for a system to pass from

one equilibrium state to another.
2
Limitations of Thermodynamics
• How Heat is Exchanged?
• Rate of Heat Exchange?
• Quantify the rate of heat exchange?
• Temperature Distribution?
Q: What is the difference between heat capacity and thermal
conductivity of a material?

3
 Heat Transfer and its Applications

• Heat transfer (or heat) is thermal energy in transit

due to a spatial temperature difference.
4
 How Heat is Transferred?
• Heat transfer is the study of how (mechanisms) energy is
transferred due to a temperature difference.
Modes of Heat Transfer
Conduction Convection Radiation

• Whenever there exists a temperature difference in a medium

or between media, heat transfer must occur. 5
