Thermodynamics tells us:
How much heat is transferred (dQ)
How much work is done (dW)
Final state of the system
Heat transfer tells us:
How (with what modes) dQ is transferred
At what rate dQ is transferred
Temperature distribution inside the body
Classification
Transit: example radiator.
Periodic: example of engine.
Modes of Heat Transfer
Conduction:
An energy transfer across a system boundary due to a temperature difference by the mechanism of
intermolecular interactions. Conduction needs matter and does not require any bulk motion of
matter.
By Oscillation: in non conductor
By electron and oscillation: in conductor
By impact: in fluids
Examples:
Conduction rate equation is described by the Fourier Law: this law is based on observations
rate of heat flow is to area of flow (A) and temperature difference (T) and 1/ to thickness
(dx) So ..
We assume case of one dimensional heat flow and k remains constant.
q Ax dT/dx = kAx dT/dx
k = thermal conductivity of material (W/m K) (which varies with temperature but we
assume it to be constant..)
q = heat flow vector, (W) or (J/s)

Convection: heat transfer is by mixing of fluid
An energy transfer across a system boundary due to a temperature difference by the combined
mechanisms of intermolecular interactions and bulk transport. Convection needs fluid matter.
Type :
Natural convection: the mixing is carried out by difference in density of cold and hot partials(induced
by buoyancy forces)..
Ex:
Hot plate to atmosphere.
Water heating system.
Heating of room by stove.
Forced convection: the mixing is carried out by pump, fan etc. here heat transfer rate speeds up.
Cooling of I.C engine.
Heat transfer through wall to fluid or fluid to wall is very important in engineering heat transfer.

Twire= 23.5/1.57 + 100 = 115 oC
Radiation:
Radiation heat transfer involves the transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation (where the energy is
carried by photons of light in the infrared and visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum) that
arises due to the temperature of the body. Radiation does not need matter.
Mechanism: heat flow through radiation occurs in 3 phase
1. Thermal energy is converted in to em waves: all body above absolute zero emit radiant energy
via photons.
2. photons can travel in space without media @ light
3. when photon strike another surface they are absorbed /reflected/ transmitted but absorbed
and converted in to heat in perfect black body.
Radiation rate equation is described by the STEFAN BOLTZMAN LAW: Total emission
from a black body per unit area per unit time is proportional to forth power of absolute
temperature of the body.
E=Ts4 (W/ m 2 )
Where:
E=A(Ts4 - Tsur4 )
Where:
Tsur = Absolute temperature of surroundings. (K)
EXAMPLE1:
Two perfect black bodies surround each other such that all radiant energy of inner surface at 1000oC
reaches outer surface at 200oC find net rate of heat transfer per unit area.
Sol
Ts1 = 200+273 = 473
Ts2 = 1000+273= 1273
E/A=(Ts14 Ts24 )
= 146kW/m2
EXAMPLE2:
5 cm dia pipe at steady state temp 60 oC kept in a room of temp 25 oC , =0.7, h= 6.5 W/m 2 K
Calculate total heat loss / unit length
Sol
Conv. q = h As T= h ( x d x l)(60-25)= 6.5x ( x 0.05x1)(60-25) = 35.72W
Rad. q= A(Ts14 Ts24 )= 0.7 x ( x d x l) x 5.67 x 10 -8 ((60+273)4-(25+273)4)
q= 33.72W
total Q=35.72+33.72=69.44W

Assumptions:
K (conductivity), c (pecific heat) and (denisity) do not vary with position.
Heat generation is uniform.
Consider a small volume whose dimensions are dx, dy, dz. Material is homogenous and
isotropic. Means its properties (density, h, k ) are same everywhere.

Temperature is indicated by T
Temperature is a function of distance do T changes as distance changes ( T changes as dx changes).
So rate of change of temperature T/ x
Change of temperature at a distance dx=> Tx - Tx+dx => T/x dx
=> T/x dx

This eq. tells us about temp. distribution and heat flow in a solid homogeneous and isotropic
material Via conduction.
Thermal Diffusivity
o k/ c = is called thermal diffusivity and is property of the material science it consist of all
property terms. Greater it is greater is the ability to store or conduct heat.
o Thermal diffusivity is ratio of conductivity (k) to thermal storage capacity(c) .
o Liquids have low conductivity but high heat storage capacity. Metals have low c and high k.
o This also tells us how fast temperature change can occur in a material if surrounding
temperature is changed.
o Temperature distribution in unsteady state depend on conductivity and storage capacity / but in
unsteady state only on conductivity.
If heat generation is nil Eg = 0 this eq. is Fouriers eq. in three dimension.
If system is in steady state but with heat generation this eq. is called poissons eq.
If no heat source and in steady state this is called laplace,s eq.
