STUDY GUIDE 10.1 INTRODUCTION TO MECHANISMS OF HEAT TRANSFER 10.1.1 Heat Current, H To begin the study of mechanisms of heat transfer, we need to know how fast heat is moves from one body to another or the rate of, Insulator heat transfer from one body to another. This (wood) property of heat transfer is called heat current. Heat current I! is defined as the amount of heat, flow per unit time. Conductor (steel) ? ty ‘The figure below shows two rooms with walls of different materials one is an insulator (let say wood) and the other is a conductor (for example steel), occupied by two persons. If they are located on the same location, we can assume that both rooms receive the same amount of heat (100). The only difference in the time the heat flows inside the room. Heat flows much faster in a conductor that in an insulator. where Q—heat transferred in cal, Btu oJ t-time elapsed in s, min, or hr heat current in cal/s, Btu/min, or watts 10.1.2. Mechanisms of Heat Transfer Heat may be transferred in several ways: by conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer by conduction is due to contact between two bodies, while heat transfer by convection is due to mass motion of fluid and radiation is due to the electromagnetic wave emitted by a body that travels in space. These mechanisms will be discussed separately in subsequent sections. 10.2 CONDUCTION 10.2.1. Principle of Conduction The kinetic energies of all molecules of a body play an important role in transferring heat specially when the kinetic energy is not properly distributed in molecules (absence of thermal equilibrium condition). The more energized molecule will give some of its energy to less energized molecules. This transferred energy is the heat due to conduction. Conduction is the transmission of vibrational energy by direct molecular communication without appreciable displacement of molecules. The molecules of a body near the flame has more kinetic energy than those located farther. A boy holding a metal spoon for a while at the end will eventually feel the heat flowing from the other end. 10.2.2. Fourier’s Law of Conduction ‘The magnitude of heat current due to conduction through a wall can be computed using the Fourier’s law of conduction. It states that the heat current of conduction H is proportional to the cross-sectional area, A of the body and to the temperature difference, (thor ~ teow) between two sides of the body and inversely proportional to the length or thickness of the body, H Aue“) vier: xe > ioe ne k~Thermal conductivity, W/mC” (1768 - 1830) H A ‘A~ Surface area perpendicular to heat, m* thar= Hot side temperature, °C tesa Cold side temperature, °C a = Thickness of the material, m Hot Side, ty Cold Side, te H—Heat current of conduction, J/s or watt ’ The proportionality constant k is called thermal conductivity. This constant describes the material as. being conductor or insulator. Higher value of thermal conductivity means that the material is a good conductor while lower value means an insulating material.

Principle of Radiant Heat All bodies emit heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. Since these waves travels in space heat can be transferred without direct contact between two objects. This mechanism of heat transfer is called radiation and defined as the transmission of heat energy by rays or waves such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma radiation.

Stefan-Boltzmann Law The Stefan-Boltzmann law describes the power radiated from a black body in terms of its temperature.

Principle of Convection Convection is the transfer of heat by mass motion of a fluid from one region of space to another due to difference in densities tess of portion of fluid. dense When a portion of a fluid is heated, the molecules ‘on that portion will become less dense. This decrease in density of molecules causes the molecules to rise and being replaced by other neighboring molecules, 10.4.2. Types of Convection Convection occurs either naturally or forcibly. The flow of fluid caused by difference in density due to thermal expansion is called natural convection, such as hot air rising, sea breeze, and land breeze. Sea breeze isa type of wind that comes up in the middle of forenoon and blows towards the land from the sea until late evening. This wind is created because the air which is above the land heated first and becomes less dense. The air above the sea blows to replace the less dense air from land. (On the other hand, land breeze isa type of wind that blows towards the ocean, usually beginning shortly before midnight. This wind is created because the air from the land cools down and pushes the air above the sea, wotair Sua @ a! ‘i land = Sea breeze a ai Nhe Land breeze 14 fluid is circulated by a blower or pump. Examples of such Hot air type are ventilation of a building using air-conditioning R systems, and blood circulation in our body made possible by our heart which serves as a pump.
