Key Questions
What is Heat Transfer?
Rate of energy flow in the form of heat due to a temperature difference
What is the relationship to Thermodynamics?
The laws of thermodynamics:
0th Law: Thermal equilibrium underline the definition of temperature
1st Law: Conservation of energy
2nd Law: Entropy increasing
Heat transfer:
to quantify the rate of heat being transferred in a nonequilibrium process
thermal forms of energy flow in conservation of energy obey the 1st law
always occurs from a hot body to a cold one obey the 2nd law
Why is Heat Transfer important?
Human body, household appliances, electronics, automobiles, global warming

Heat Transfer takes place everywhere

Modes of Heat Transfer

S. Yao MECH3310 Lecture 1 Ch 1.1-1.2 01/09/2016
Modes of Heat Transfer
Conduction: Heat transfer in a solid or a stationary fluid (gas or liquid) due to
the random motion of its constituent atoms, molecules and /or
electrons.
Convection: Heat transfer due to the combined influence of bulk and
random motion for fluid flow over a surface.
Radiation:
Energy that is emitted by matter due to changes in the electron
configurations of its atoms or molecules and is transported as
electromagnetic waves (or photons).
Conduction and convection require temperature variations in a material medium.
Although radiation originates from matter, its transport does not require a material
medium and occurs most efficiently in a vacuum.
S. Yao MECH3310 Lecture 1 Ch 1.1-1.2 01/09/2016
Heat Transfer Rates: Conduction
Conduction:
Due to random motion, not bulk motion
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 conduction is due to the combination of vibrations of the
molecules in a lattice and the energy transport by free electrons.

Heat Transfer Rates: Convection
Convection = Conduction + Advection (bulk motion)
Relation of convection to flow over a
surface and development of velocity
and thermal boundary layers:
Convection is commonly classified
into three sub-modes:
- Forced convection,
- Natural (or free)
convection,
- Change of phase
(liquid/vapor, solid/liquid,
etc.)

Heat Transfer Rates: Radiation
Radiation is the energy emitted by matter in the form of
electromagnetic waves (or photons) as a result of the changes in the
electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules.
Heat transfer by radiation does not require the presence of an
intervening medium.
In heat transfer studies we are interested in thermal radiation (radiation
emitted by bodies because of their temperature).
Radiation is a volumetric phenomenon. However, radiation is usually
considered to be a surface phenomenon for solids that are opaque to
thermal radiation.
Emission: Stefan-Boltzmann Law

Heat Transfer Rates: Radiation
The idealized surface that emits radiation at the maximum rate is
called a blackbody. E b = Ts4
The radiation emitted by all real surfaces is less than the radiation emitted
by a blackbody at the same temperature, and is expressed as
E = Ts4
Emission power Emissivity of the surface, 0 1
