Heat Transfer as a Course

Has a reputation for being one of the most challenging, fundamental, conceptual courses in ME. It is the heart of thermal h l engineering i i Why??
Physically diverse: thermodynamics, thermodynamics material science science, diffusion theory, fluid mechanics, radiation theory Higher-level math: vector calculus, ODEs, PDEs, numerical methods Physically elusive: heat is invisible; developing intuition takes time Appropriate assumptions: required i d to simplify i lif and d solve l most problems

However, Heat Transfer is interesting, fun, and readily applicable to the real world

Heat Transfer Applications

Heat transfer is commonly encountered in engineering systems and other aspects of life, and one does not need to go very far to see some application areas of heat transfer. transfer

Heat Transfer - Thermodynamics y

Thermodynamics is concerned with the amount of heat transfer as a system y undergoes g a process p from one equilibrium q state to another, and it gives no indication about how long the process will take. A thermodynamic analysis simply tells us how much heat must be transferred to realize a specified change of state to satisfy the conservation of energy principle.
We are normally interested in how long it takes for the hot coffee in a thermos to cool to a certain temperature, which cannot be determined from a thermodynamic analysis alone alone.

Determining the rates of heat transfer to or from a system and thus the times of cooling or heating, heating as well as the variation of the temperature, is the subject of heat transfer

Definition
Heat transfer is energy transfer due to a temperature difference in a medium or between two or more media Different types of heat transfer processes are called different modes of heat transfer Conduction heat transfer is due to a temperature gradient in a stationary medium or media Convection heat transfer occurs between a surface and a moving fluid at different temperatures Radiation heat transfer occurs due to emission of energy in the f form of f ele electromagnetic t eti waves e by b all ll bodies b die above b e absolute b l te zero e temperature
Net radiation heat transfer occurs when there exists a temperature difference between two or more surfaces emitting radiation energy

Conduction
Conduction heat transfer is due to random molecular and atomic vibrational, rotational and translational motions
High temperature and more energetic molecules vibrate more and transfer energy to less energetic particles as a result of molecular collisions or interactions

is characterized by a transport property know as the

P.TALUKDAR/IITD

 Conduction is the transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of a substance to the adjacent less energetic ones as a result of interactions between the particles. Conduction can take place in solids, liquids, or gases. In gases and liquids, conduction is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during their random motion. In solids, it is due to the combination of vibrations of the molecules in a lattice and the energy transport by free electrons The rate of heat conduction through a medium depends on the geometry of the medium, its thickness, and the material of the medium, as well as the temperature difference across the medium

Thermal Conductivity y
Specific heat Cp is a measure of a materials ability to store thermal energy. gy For example, p , Cp = 4.18 kJ/kgC g for water and Cp = 0.45 kJ/kgC for iron at room temperature, which indicates that water can store almost 10 times the energy that iron can per unit mass. Likewise Likewise, the thermal conductivity k is a measure of a material materials s ability to conduct heat. For example, k = 0.608 W/mC for water and k = 80.2 W/mC for iron at room temperature, which indicates that iron conducts cond cts heat more than 100 times faster than water ater can. can Thus water is a poor heat conductor relative to iron, although water is an excellent medium to store thermal energy

Range g of Thermal Conductivity y

The thermal conductivities of gases such as air vary by a factor of 104 from those of pure metals such as copper. Note that pure crystals and metals have the highest thermal conductivities and gases and conductivities, insulating materials the lowest.

The range of thermal conductivity of various materials at room temperature

P.TALUKDAR/IITD

 The thermal conductivity of a substance is normally highest in the solid phase and lowest in the gas phase. Unlike gases, the thermal conductivities of most liquids li id decrease d with i h increasing i i temperature, with water being a notable exception. In solids, heat conduction is due to two effects: the lattice vibrational waves induced by t the ev vibrational b at o a motions ot o s o of t the e molecules o ecu es positioned at relatively fixed positions in a periodic manner called a lattice, and the energy transported via the free flow of electrons in the solid . The thermal conductivity of a solid is obtained by adding the lattice and electronic components. components The relatively high thermal conductivities of pure metals are primarily due to the electronic component.
P.TALUKDAR/IITD

 The lattice component of thermal conductivity strongly depends on the way the molecules are arranged Unlike metals, which are good electrical and heat conductors, crystalline lli solids lid such h as diamond di d and d semiconductors i d such h as silicon are good heat conductors but poor electrical conductors. As a result, such materials find widespread use in the electronics industry. For example, diamond, which is a highly ordered crystalline solid, has the highest known thermal conductivity at room temperature.

Even small amounts in a pure metal of foreign molecules that are good conductors themselves seriously i l disrupt di t the th flow fl of f heat h ti in that th t metal. t l For example, the thermal conductivity of steel containing just 1 percent of chrome is 62 W/mC, while the thermal conductivities of iron and chromium are 83 and 95 W/mC,

Thermal Diffusivity y
The product Cp, which is frequently encountered in heat transfer y is called the heat capacity p y of a material. Both the analysis, specific heat Cp and the heat capacity Cp represent the heat storage capability of a material. But Cp expresses it per unit mass whereas Cp expresses it per unit volume, as can be noticed from their units J/kgC and J/m3C, respectively.

Another material property that appears in the transient heat conduction analysis is the thermal diffusivity, which represents how fast heat diffuses through a material and is defined as
The larger the thermal diffusivity, the faster the propagation of heat into the medium. A small value of thermal t e a d diffusivity us v ty means ea s t that at heat eat is mostly absorbed by the material and a small amount of heat will be conducted further

P.TALUKDAR/IITD

 Note that the thermal diffusivity ranges from 0.14 x 10-6 m2/s for water to 174 x 10-6 m2/s for silver, which is a difference of more than a thousand times. Also note that the thermal diffusivities of beef and water are the same. This is not surprising, since meat as well as fresh vegetables and fruits are mostly water, water and thus they possess the thermal properties of water.
