HEAT CONDUCTION
• CONDUCTION IS THE PROCESS OF THERMAL
ENERGY TRANSFER WITHOUT ANY FLOW OF THE
MATERIAL MEDIUM.
HOT COLD
(lots of vibration) (not much vibration)
Heat travels
along the rod
3
•When the thermal energy(heat) is supplied
to one end of the rod, the particles (atom or
molecules) at the hot end vibrate vigorously.
•These particles will collide with
neighbouring particles, making them vibrate
as well.
• This fast-moving electrons then diffuse into the cooler parts of the
metal.
• In the process, they collide with the atoms in the cooler parts of the
metals and transfer their kinetic energy to them.
5
CONDUCTION CAN TAKE PLACE IN SOLIDS, LIQUID AND GASES PROVIDED
NO BULK MOTION INVOLVED.
• Metals are good conductors of • Less good conductors of heat than • Very poor conductors of heat
electricity. solids
• Molecules are widely separated
• They are also good conductors of • The interactions are weaker than in and interact rarely compared to
heat. In metals, not only do the
solids and this makes energy solids and liquids
atoms vibrate more when heated,
but the free electrons charge transfer less efficient
around more as well.
• These transfer the energy much
6
faster than just vibrations in
bonds.
Good conductors of heat:
•Metals such as copper, iron and silver
Bad conductors of heat/insulators:
•Non metals such as glass, plastics, bricks, wool, wood, air and water.

LET US TRY!
• A thick-walled cylindrical tubing of hard rubber having an inside
radius of 5mm and an outside radius of 20mm is being used as a
temporary cooling coil in a bath. Ice water is flowing rapidly inside,
and the inside wall temperature is 274.9k. The outside surface
temperature is 297.1k. A total of 14.65W must be removed from the
bath by the cooling coil. How many m of tubing are needed? Given

LUMPED SYSTEM ANALYSIS (LSA)
• Lumped system - temperature of a solid varies with time but
Can be modeled as LSA remains uniform throughout the solid at anytime
• Behave like a ‘lump’ – whose interior temperature remains
essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process
• The temp. Of such bodies can be taken to be a function of
temperature only t(t)
• Heat transfer analysis that use this idealization is known LSA

• During time interval dt, the temp. Of the body rises by dt
• An energy balance of the solid at dt

The temperature of a gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple whose junction can be
approximated as a 1.2 mm diameter sphere.

heat transfer coefficient between the junction and the gas is h = 65 W/m2 0C.
Determine how long it will take for the thermocouple to read 99% of the initial temperature difference.
