Heat Transfer
• A study in which the details or mechanisms of
the transfer of energy in the form of heat are
of primary concern
• Mechanisms
– Radiation
– Conduction
– Convection
Radiation
• The transfer of energy by electromagnetic radiation
having a defined range of wavelengths.
– Ionizing
– Non-ionizing
• Emission at every temperature
Conduction
• Transmission of heat through a substance
without perceptible motion of the substance
itself
• Heat can be conducted through gases, liquids,
and solids.
• Solids > Liquids > Gases
Convection
• The term applied to heat transfer due to bulk
movement of a fluid.
• Two types
– Free/Natural
– Forced
