Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
 Heat: The form of energy that can be transferred from one
system to another as a result of temperature difference.
 OR
• Heat transfer (or heat) is thermal energy in transit due to
a spatial temperature difference.
 Thermodynamics is concerned with the amount of heat(
energy) transfer as a system undergoes a process from
one equilibrium state to another.
 Heat Transfer deals with the determination of the rates of
such energy transfers as well as variation of temperature.
 The transfer of energy as heat is always from the higher
temperature medium to the lower temperature one.
 Heat transfer stops when the two mediums reach the
same temperature.
Modes of Heat Transfer


 The three physical mechanisms (modes) of heat
transfer are:
1. Conduction - heat flow by direct contact.

2. Convection - heat transfer that will occur


between a surface and a moving fluid when
they are at different temperatures.
3. Thermal radiation – transfer of heat by
electromagnetic waves.
 In practical cases, a combination of one or more of
the above modes are present

 The minus sign is a consequence of the fact that heat is
transferred in the direction of decreasing temperature.
 Under the steady-state conditions, where the

temperature distribution is linear, the temperature
gradient may be expressed as:

 The heat rate by conduction, qx (W), through a plane


wall of area A is then the product of the flux and the
area, . qx = qx” *A.
Thermal Conductivity
• Thermal conductivity: The
rate of heat transfer through a
unit thickness of the material
per unit area per unit
temperature difference. 
• The thermal conductivity of a
material is a measure of the
ability of the material to
conduct heat.
• A high value for thermal
conductivity indicates
that the material is a
good heat conductor,
and a low value indicates
that the material is a
poor heat conductor or
insulator.

It is comprised of two mechanisms

or macroscopic, motion of the fluid

occurs between a fluid in motion and a bounding surface when
the two are at different temperatures.

transfer.
• Convection heat transfer may be classified according to the
nature of the flow.
 Forced convection - when the flow is caused by

external means, such as by a fan, a pump, or
atmospheric winds.
 Free (or natural) convection - the flow is induced by
buoyancy forces, which are due to density differences
caused by temperature variations in the fluid.
• In convection heat transfer the energy that is being transferred
is the sensible, or internal thermal, energy of the fluid.
• However, for some convection processes, there is, in addition,
latent heat exchange.
• This latent heat exchange is generally associated with a phase
change between the liquid and vapor states of the fluid.
• Two special cases of interest in this text are boiling and
condensation.

3. Radiation
• Thermal radiation is energy emitted by matter that is at a
nonzero temperature.

• The energy of the radiation field is transported by
electromagnetic waves (or alternatively, photons).
• While the transfer of energy by conduction or convection
requires the presence of a material medium, radiation does not.
• In fact, radiation transfer occurs most efficiently in a vacuum.
• All bodies at a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal
radiation.
• Radiation is a volumetric phenomenon, and all solids, liquids,
and gases emit, absorb, or transmit radiation to varying
degrees.
• However, radiation is usually considered to be a surface
phenomenon for solids that are opaque to thermal radiation
such as metals, wood, and rocks.
• The rate at which energy is released per unit area (W/m2) is
termed the surface emissive power, E.
• There is an upper limit to the emissive power, which is


prescribed by the Stefan–Boltzmann law.

where Ts is the absolute temperature (K) of the surface and is


the Stefan– Boltzmann constant.
• Such a surface is called an ideal radiator or blackbody.
• The heat flux emitted by a real surface is less than that of a
blackbody at the same temperature and is given by

where is a radiative property of the surface termed the emissivity.


• With values in the range 0 ≤ ε ≤ 1, this property provides a
measure of how efficiently a surface emits energy relative to a
blackbody.
• Radiation may also be incident on a surface from its
surroundings.
• The rate at which all radiation is incident on a unit area of the
surface as the irradiation G.

• A portion, or all, of the irradiation may be absorbed by the
surface, thereby increasing the thermal energy of the material.
• The rate at which radiant energy is absorbed per unit surface
area may be evaluated from knowledge of a surface radiative
property termed then absorptivity α.

where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1.
• If and the surface is opaque, portions of the irradiation are
reflected If the surface is semitransparent, portions of the
irradiation may also be transmitted.
Radiation exchange: (a) at a surface and (b) between a
surface and large surroundings.


• If the surface is assumed to be one for which α = ε (a gray
surface), the net rate of radiation heat transfer from the surface,
expressed per unit area of the surface, is


• This expression provides the difference between thermal energy
that is released due to radiation emission and that gained due to
radiation absorption.
• For many applications, it is convenient to express the net
radiation heat exchange in the form

• The radiation heat transfer coefficient hr is


The Thermal Resistance Concept


• Thermal resistance is a heat property and a
measurement of a temperature difference by which
an object or material resists a heat flow.

where ∆T is a relevant temperature


difference and A is the area normal to
the direction of heat transfer. The
quantity Rt is called a thermal
resistance and takes different forms
for the three different modes of heat
transfer
