1.CONDUCTION
1.1 HEAT TRANSFER
Heat transfer can be defined as the transmission
from one region to another region due to temperature
of energy
difference.
1.1.1 Modes of Heat Transfer
*
*
*
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
Heat conduction is a mechanism of heat transfer from a region
of high temperature to a region of low temperature within a medium
(solid, liquid or gases) or between different medium in direct physical
contact.
In conduction, energy exchange takes place by the kinematic
motion or direct impact of molecules. Pure conduction is found only
in solids.
Convection
Convection is a process of heat transfer that will occur between
a solid surface and a fluid medium when they are at different
temperatures.
Convection
is possible only in the presence offluid
medium.
Radiation
The heat transfer from one body to another
without any
transmitting medium is known as radiation. It is an electromagnetic
wave phenomenon.

The general heat conduction

equation
in cartesian
coordinates derived in the previous section is used for solids with
rectangular boundaries like squares, cubes, slabs etc. But, the
cartesian coordinate system is not applicable for the solids like
cylinders, cones, spheres etc. For cylindrical
solids, a cylindrical
coordinate system is used.

2.1.DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Dimensional analysis is a mathematical, method which makes
of the study of the dimensions for solving
several engineering0
~.e
prohlems. This method can be applied. to all types of fluid

resistances, heat flow problems and many other problems in fluid
mechanics and thermodynamics.
2.1.1.Dimensions
In dimensional analysis, the various physical quantities used in

fluid phenomenon can be expressed in terms of fundamental
quantities. These fundamental quantities are mass (M), length (L),
lime (T), and temperature (0).
The dimensions of commonly used quantities in heat transfer
analysis is listed in Table 2.1 with reference to MLeT where

3. PHASE CHANGE HEAT TRANSFER
AND HEAT EXCHANGERS
3.1 Boiling and condensation
3.1.1 Introduction
In the last chapter of convective heat transfer, we have
considered the fluid as a homogeneous single phase system. But, in
many situations, the fluid changes its phase during convective heat
transfer process. Boiling and condensation are such convective heat
transfer process that are associated with change in phase of liquid.
3.1..2 Boiliag
The change of phase from liquid to vapour state is known as
boiling
3.1.3 Condensation
The change of phase from vapour to liquid state is known as
condensation.
3.1.4 Applications
Boiling and condensation process finds wide applications as
mentioned below.
1. Thermal and Nuclear power plant.
2. Refrigerating systems.
3. Process of heating and cooling
4. Heating of metal in furnaces
5. Air conditioning systems.

If heat is added to a liquid from a submerged solid surface
the boiling process is referred to as pool boiling. In this case th~
liquid above the hot surface is essentially stagnant and its motion
near the surface is due to free convection and mixing induced by
bubble growth and detachment.
Fig. 3.1 shows the temperature distribution in saturated pool
boiling with a liquid - vapour interface.

Film boiling exists in regions IV, V and VI.

In region IV the vapour film is not stable and collapses and
reforms rapidly. With further increase in L\T (excess temperature)
the vapour film is stabilised as indicated in region V.
'
The surface temperature required to maintain a stable film are
high and under these conditions a sizeable amount of heat is lost by
the surface due to radiation. This is indicated in VI.
From fig.3.2 it is clear that high heat transfer rates are
associated with small values of the excess temperature in nucleate
boiling region.

3.1.6 Flow Boiling
Flow boiling or forced convection boiling may occur when
a fluid is forced through a pipe or over a surface which is
maintained at a temperature higher than the saturation temperature
of the fluid.
This type of boiling occurs in water tube boilers
forced convection.

4. RADIATION
4.1. INTRODUCTION
The heat is transferred from one body to another without any

transmitting medium is known as radiation. It is an electromagnetic
wave phenomenon.
All types of electromagnetic waves are classified in terms of
wavelength
and are propagated
at the speed of light,
i.c., 3 x 10M m/s.
4.2. EMISSION PROPERTIES
The rate of emission of radiation by a body depends upon the

following f"etors.
I.
The wavelength or frequency of radiation.
2.
The temperature of surface.
J.
The nature of the surface.
4.3. EMISSIVE
POWER [EtJ
The emissive power is defined as the total amount of radiation

emitted by a body per unit time and unit area.

).
A black body absorbs all incident radiation, regardless of

wave length and direction.
2.
For a prescribed temperature and wave length, no surface

can emit more energy than black body.
A black body is regarded as a perfect

absorber of incident radiation. A black body
condition can be approached in practice by
forming a cavity in a material as shown in
Fig.4.2. Radiation passing through the hole
into the cavity is repeatedly absorbed and
reflected at the cavity walls until it all
absorbed.

A black body is a perfect emitter. This is a fact which can be

proved as follows. Consider a black body at a uniform temperature,
placed inside an arbitrarily shaped, perfectly insulated enclosure
composed of another black body whose temperature is also

The following assumptions are made for the analysis.

The shape factors for these geometries can be derived in termS

of known shape factors of other geometries. The interrelation

4.33. RADIATION FROM GASES AND VAPOURS- EMISSION

AND ABSORPTION
Many gases such as N2, 02' H2, dry air etc., do not emit or
absorb any appreciable amount of thermal radiation. These gases
may be considered as transparent to thermal radiation. On the other
hand, some gases and vapours such as CO2, CO, H20, S02' NH3,
etc., emit and absorb significant amount of radiant energy. As
illustration we shall take up radiation from CO2 and H20, which
are the most common absorbing gases present in atmosphere
industrial furnace, etc.
4./54
4.33.1. Radiation from Gases Differs From Solids
The radiation from gases differs from solids in the fOllow'
lilt
ways:
The radiation from solids is at all wavelengths, whe

gases radiate over specific wavelength ranges or b I'eas
within the thermal spectrum.
iIItds
The intensity of radiation as it passes through an absorb'
gas decreases with the length of passage through the Illg
volume. This is unlike solids wherein the absorption gas
radiation takes place Wit. hiIn a sma II d'istancs from thtof
