Heat Transfer: Conduction• Conduction
§ The ability of a solid to conduct heat• Rate of heat transfer by conduction
across boundaries of a unit volume
§ Where A is the cross-sectional area, L is the distance for heat transfer (~ Δx), and k is the thermal conductivity
§ k ~ 10-2 for insulators; ~ 102 for metals

Heat Transfer: Convection• The process of heat transfer
between a surface of a solid and a fluid exposed to that surface§ Associated with the transfer of mass
• Conduction from the solid to the fluid; then the density of the heated fluid changes so it flows away, bringing in fresh fluid to be heated/cooled, etc.
Heat Transfer: Convection
• Qh/A = h(Ts – T∞) § h is the convection coefficient, representing
the entire heat transfer mechanism§ Ts is the temperature at surface§ T∞ is the ambient temperature of the free fluid
at a distance, and is constant

– Thermal Resistance– Thermal Capacitance
Thermal Resistance
• Thermal resistance to heat flow rate, Qh between two points of differing temperatures, T1 and T2§ Rh = (T1 – T2) / Qh à Q = ΔT / R
• Conduction§ Qh = (kA / L) (T1 – T2)§ R ≡ L / kA
• Convection§ Qh = hA(T1 – T2)§ R ≡ 1 / hA
Thermal Capacitance
• The ability of matter to store or hold heat is the thermal capacity of the material§ Behaves like a thermal capacitance
• Qh = CpM dT/dt§ Cp = specific heat (on a per mass basis)§ M = mass
Thermal Capacitance• Thermal capacitance Ch is defined as:
§ Ch = MCp• Cp is specific heat capacity
– Equal to the ratio of the heat added to (or removed from) an object to the resulting temperature change, units of J/kg∙K
§ A thermal capacitance stores heat proportional to its initial temperature
• When stored energy is released, temp changes as a function of time, such that§ dT/dt = Qh / CpM, or § Qh = Ch dT/dt

Thermal System: Dynamic Variables• Temperature represents the dynamic
variable• Heat transfer, relates to flow rate• Note that thermal inductance does
not exist• Passive (non-controlled) thermal
systems do not have resonance or overshoot§ Though they can be described by 2nd– and
higher order equations
Dynamic Interconnecting Equation
• Qrate stored within sysem = + Qrate flow in
– Qrate flow out
+ Qrate generated in
+ Qrate work done upon system
• Ch dT/dt = Qhin (t) – Qhout(t)+ Qhgen + dW/dt
§ Recall thermal capacitance: Ch = MCp
Question: Watermelon Warming
• How long will a watermelon remain cool when sitting outside at a picnic?§ Mass = 4 kg§ Ti = 5 ˚C; Tf = 30 ˚C
§ We will find how long it takes the watermelon to reach 63% of the temperature rise, to 20.75 ˚C§ Cp = 4200 J/kg ˚K§ h = 15W / m2 ˚K
Watermelon Warming
• The mass of the melon acts as a thermal capacitor§ Qh = CpM dTi / dt
• Next, equate the heat transfer released by the thermal capacitance to the convection heat transfer§ Qh = CpMTi
’ = hA(Ti – T∞)§ τTi
’ = Ti – T∞• τ = CpM / hA

Homework
• Model the dynamics of a thermal system that consists of a small building.
• The building receives energy from the sun as well as from a small electric heater.
• There is heat loss through the walls to the outside.
• The house itself can store a certain amount of energy, acting as a thermal capacitor.
To Hand In• Using the heat energy balance equation develop a
dynamic model of the small house system. § Put your model into Simulink using integrator/delay, gain,
summation, etc. blocks, and run it with a Matlab script§ Label/comment your model.§ Include plots of the behavior of the system – from Matlab (Not
Simulink ‘scope’ output)
• Comment upon the behavior of your system.§ Including but not at all limited to: § What order of system is this (1st, 2nd, 3rd …)?§ What is the time constant for this system, and what does the time
constant represent?§ Brief discussion on why the natural response of a thermal system
will not oscillate.
