INTRODUCTION

Heat transfer is energy in transit, which occurs as a result of a temperature gradient or

difference. This temperature difference is thought of as a driving force that causes heat to

flow. Heat transfer occurs by three basic mechanisms or modes: conduction, convection,

and radiation.

Conduction

Conduction heat transfer is defined as heat transfer in solids and fluids without bulk

motion. Heat conduction generally takes place in solids, through it may occur in fluids

without bulk motion or with rigid body motion. In fluids, conduction is due to the

collusions of the molecules during their random motion. In solids, it is due to the

combination of vibrations of molecules in a lattice and the energy transport by free

electrons.

It is observed that the rate of heat conduction through a wall (qx) with constant

thickness is proportional to the temperature difference (T2 - T1) between the surfaces and

of the wall (L).

Convection is the mode of heat transfer between a solid surface and the adjacent fluid that

is in motion, and it involves the combined effects of conduction and fluid motion. The

faster the fluid motion, the greater the convection heat transfer. In the absence of any bulk

fluid motion, heat transfer between a solid surface and the adjacent fluid is by pure

conduction. The presence of bulk motion of the fluid enhances the heat transfer between

the solid surface and the fluid.

Convection is called forced convection if the fluid is forced to flow over the surface

by external means such as a fan, pump, or the wind. In contrast, convection is called

natural or free convection if the fluid motion is caused by buoyancy force that is induced

by density difference due to the variation of temperature in the fluid. Heat transfer from a

solid surface can be obtained from:

Radiation is the energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves as a result

of the changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules. Unlike

conduction and convection, the transfer of energy by radiation does not require the

presence of an intervening medium. In fact, energy transfer by radiation is the fastest (at

the speed of light) and it suffers no attenuation in a vacuum. This is exactly how the energy

of the sun reaches the earth.

The maximum rate of radiation which can be emitted from a surface at an absolute

temperature (Ts) is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law as:

4semit TAq ⋅⋅σ⋅ε= (1.3)

Where = 5.67 × 10σ -8 W/m2.K4 is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and ε is the emissivity of

the surface. An idealized surface, which emits radiation at a maximum rate has ε = 1, is

known as a blackbody. The radiation emitted by actual surfaces is less than that emitted by

the blackbody. The value of ε is in the range 0 ≤ ε ≤ 1, is a measure of how closely a

surface approximates a blackbody.

Page 4: CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION - libvolume2.xyzlibvolume2.xyz/.../convectiveheattransfernotes2.pdf · where hc is convective heat transfer coefficient (W/m 2.K) A is heat transfer area (m2)

Table 1.3 Emissivity of some materials at 300 K ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- material ε material ε ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- aluminum foil 0.07 Black paint 0.98 anodized aluminum 0.82 White paint 0.90 polished copper 0.03 White paper 0.92-0.97 polished gold 0.03 Asphalt pavement 0.85-0.93 polished silver 0.02 Human skin 0.95 polished stainless-steel 0.17 Wood 0.82-0.92 black paint 0.98 Soil 0.93-0.96 Water 0.96 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another important radiation property of a surface is its absorptivity (α), which is

the fraction of the radiation energy incident on a surface which is absorbed by the surface.

Like emissivity, its value is in the range 0 ≤ α ≤ 1. A blackbody absorbs the entire

radiation incident on it. That is, a black is a perfect absorber (α = 1) as well as a perfect

emitter. In practice, α and ε are assumed to independent from temperature and wavelength

of the radiation. The average absorptivity of a surface is taken to be equal to its average

emissivity. The rate at which a surface absorbs radiation is determined from:

incabs qq ⋅α= (1.4)

Where qinc is the rate at which radiation is incident on the surface. For nontransparent

surfaces, the portion of incident radiation not absorbed by the surface

qref = (1 - α)qinc

qinc

surface qabs = α qinc

Figure 1.2 The absorption of radiation incident on an opaque surface of absorptivity ∝.

The difference between the rates of radiation emitted by the surface and the

radiation absorbed is the net radiation heat transfer. If the rate of radiation absorption is

greater than the rate of radiation emission, the surface is said to be gaining energy by

radiation. Otherwise, the surface is said to be losing energy by radiation.

STEADY-STATE CONDUCTION IN ONE DIMENSION

2.1 Fourier’s law of heat conduction

Consider a wall as shown, we know that the rate of heat transfer through the wall increases

when:

• The temperatures difference between the left and right surfaces increase,

• The wall surface area increases,

• The wall thickness reduces,

• The wall is change from brick to aluminum.

If we measure temperatures of the wall from left to right and plot the temperature variation

with the wall thickness, we get:

Relative to the heat flow direction, the slope of the temperature line is negative as the

temperature decrease with the heat flow direction.

Therefore, the relation can be written as:

This relation is known a Fourier’s law of heat conduction.

Note that the thermal conductivity (k) represented how well a material conducts heat, and

the heat capacity represents how much energy a material stores per unit volume. The

larger the diffusivity, the faster the propagation of heat into the medium. A small value of

thermal diffusivity means that heat is mostly abs0rbed by the material and a small amount

of heat will be conducted further.

generation per unit volume, q . The heat

source is at the center plane, thus we can

2.3.3 Critical thickness of insulation

In order to reduce heat loss from the hot fluid flowing inside a pipe, insulating

material is normally used. When we add the insulation, the conductive thermal resistance is

definitely increased. This causes the heat loss to reduce. However, at the same time, adding

the insulation also increases the outer surface area. This causes the heat loss to increase.

Therefore, in some case, adding insulation may increase the heat loss. Particularly for a

large pipe and when the outer convective coefficient and thermal conductivity of the

insulation used are high.

Page 17: CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION - libvolume2.xyzlibvolume2.xyz/.../convectiveheattransfernotes2.pdf · where hc is convective heat transfer coefficient (W/m 2.K) A is heat transfer area (m2)

Consider a 1 inch pipe (OD = 3.34 cm) covered with kapok insulation (k = 0.035

W/m.K). Assume that the outside-pipe-wall temperature is 200°C and the ambient

temperature is 20°C. The outer convective coefficient is 1.7 W/m2.K. The heat loss from

value, the heat loss reduce when the thickness increases. The critical radius is obtained as

Example 2.1

Walls of a cold-storage room are constructed of 10 cm thick brick on the outside and 1 cm thick plywood on the inside. Sandwiched between the brick and the plywood is glass fiber insulation that is 7 cm thick. The inside surface temperature is to be maintained at -5°C and the outside surface temperature is 32°C. In order to estimate the cooling capacity of a refrigeration system, the heat flow through the wall per square meter must be determined.

CHAPTER III

HEAT TRANSFER FROM EXTENDED SURFACE

One example of an extended surface is a spoon placed in a cup of hot coffee. The handle

extended beyond the hot coffee. Heat is conducted along the spoon handle, causing the

handle to become warmer than the surrounding air. The heat conducted to the handle is

then transfer to the air by convection.

Figure 3.1 A spoon and a cup of coffee.

The purpose of adding an extended surface is to help dissipate heat. Fins are

usually added to a heat transfer device to increase the rate of heat removal. This is because

of the increase of the heat transfer area.

CHAPTER V

UNSTEADY-STATE HEAT CONDUCTION

In this chapter we consider transient-conduction problems in which there is no internal heat

generation. Temperature will therefore vary with location within the system and with time.

Temperature and heat transfer variation of the system are dependent on its internal

resistance and surface resistance.

If we have a slab with initial temperature of Ti and it is left in fluid stream at T∝.

Heat is transferred by convection at the surface. As the surface temperature decreases, heat

is transfer from the center of the slab to the surface, then to the fluid. Now, if the system

itself is copper or the volume is small, the temperature response within the slab is

considerably different from that if it is glass or the volume is large. The response has to do

with what is called the internal resistance of the material. Further, if the convection

coefficient is very high, then the surface temperature almost becomes identical to the fluid

temperature quickly. Alternatively, for a low convection coefficient a large temperature

difference exists between the surface and the fluid. The value of the convection coefficient

controls what is known as the surface resistance to heat transfer.

Thus, the temperature variation within the system is dependent on the internal and

surface resistances. The larger internal resistance or the smaller surface resistance, the

larger temperature variation within the system, and vice versa. A Biot number is defined

as:
