cooling, Stefan-Boltzmann’s law of thermal radiation; thermal conductivity and thermal
resistance
Conduction: General heat conduction equation in cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinate
systems; thermal diffusivity; boundary and initial conditions; one-dimensional steady state heat
conduction without heat generation in plane walls, cylinders and spheres; composite systems;
critical thickness of insulation; one-dimensional steady state heat conduction with internal heat
generation in plane walls, cylinders and spheres

uniform cross-sectional area - infinitely long fin and fin of finite length with insulated tip;
efficiency and effectiveness
UNIT – II (9)
Transient Heat Conduction: Definition of lumped system; governing differential equation for
lumped system; significance of Biot and Fourier number; time constant and response of
thermocouple

absorptivity, reflectivity and transmissivity; black and gray surfaces; emissivity; Kirchhoff’s law,
Planck’s distribution law, Wein’s displacement law, Lambert’s cosine law
Radiative Heat Exchange Between Two Bodies: configuration factor; large parallel plates, equal
parallel and opposite squares, rectangular plates perpendicular to each other; heat exchange
between large parallel plates of different emissivity; gray body radiation - large parallel plates,
concentric cylinders and spheres, small body in a large enclosure, concept of shape and surface
resistances, re-radiating surfaces, radiation shields
