Overview of Heat Transfer Methods

The document presents a summary of heat transfer. It defines heat and describes the three main modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. It provides examples of each mode and defines key concepts like Fourier's Law of Conduction and Newton's Law of Cooling. Radiation laws including Wien's Law and Stefan-Boltzmann Law are also summarized. The presentation aims to explain the fundamental concepts of heat transfer.

Presentation on Heat transfer

Presented by:

Dept of EEE,L3T2
What is heat?
Heat is something which
appears at the boundary
when a system changes its
state due to a difference in
temperature between the
system and surroundings.”

 Heat appears only at the


boundary while the change
takes place inside the system
Heat transfer

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that


concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of 
thermal energy and heat between physical systems

Modes of heat transfer


There are three modes of heat transfer:
 Conduction
 Convection
 Radiation
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
CONDUCTION
The process, in which heat energy is transferred
from one system to another system
without visible motion of particles, is called
conduction.
PAIR DISCUSSION
CONVECTION
DEFINITION
The process, in which heat energy is
transferred from one system to another
system due to movement of particles
through large distances, is called convection.
RADIATION

DEFINITION
“The process in which heat energy travels
from one system to another in the form of
electromagnetic waves with no need of
material medium is called Radiation.”
Heat from the sun reaches earth by radiation
FOURIER’S LAW OF HEAT CONDUCTION

It states that,” for a


homogeneous solid, the rate of
heat flow is directly proportional
to area of section at right angles
to the direction of heat flow and
to change of temperature with
respect to length of the path of
heat flow.”
• Mathematically,
 
QA.(dt/dx)
Where, Q= Heat flow through the body per unit time (Watts)
A= Surface area of heat flow (m2)
dt= Temperature difference of the faces of block (K or ᵒC )
dx= Thickness of body in direction of flow (m)
Thus, QA(dt/dx)
Where k= constant of proportionality also known as thermal
conductivity of body.
Example1
Asbestos layer whose thickness is 20 mm is used as an insulator over
a boiler wall. Consider an area of 0.9m2 and calculate the rate of
heat flow over this area if the temperatures on either side of the
insulation are 400oC and 30oC. Given K = 0.116 W/mK
Solution:
To calculate heat flow, we need to find the heat flux.
Heat flux is given by,
q = – k dt / dx. m2
= – 0.116 × (30 – 400)/0.02
q = 1566 W/m2
Rate of heat flow Q is expressed by,
Q = Heat flux × Area
= 1566 × 0.9
Q = 1409.4 W
 Newton’s Law of
Cooling .
• LAWS
  OF RADIATION:
Wien’s Law: It states that the wavelength λ corresponding to
the maximum energy is inversely proportional to absolute
temperature T of hot body.

λmT=constant (or) λm

Stefan-Boltzmann Law: The emissive power of black body is


directly proportional to fourth power of absolute temperature.

Q4
•  
Mathematically, Q = FA (T14 – T24)

Where, F= a factor depending on geometry and surface


properties.

= 5.67×10 ̄ ̄⁸ W/ m2K4
A = Area of surface, m 2
