    Heat transfer by convection

    A hot glass of water will get cold at some time. It


    happens as the heat gets lost to the environment.
    Hence, we can say that heat transfer is the
    transferring of thermal energy between two
    physical systems. In case of temperature
    difference, the heat gets transferred from a hot
    system to a colder one. However, there are three
    types of heat transfer- convection, conduction,
    and radiation. In this blog, I will find details
    about heat transfer by convection.

    Introduction to heat transfer by
    convection

    According to the Principle of heat transfer, the exact definition of


    Convection is “The procedure of heat transfer with the motion of
    molecules in fluids like liquids and gases. In the starting, the
    heat transfer between fluid and object takes place via
    conduction. However, bulk heat transfer occurs with the
    movement of fluid.”
    Important points to remember
     Liquids and gases are bad conductors of heat in normal
    situations. Although, they transfer heat with ease.
     The heat transfer in this method takes place via advection,
    How does Heat transfer Through the
    Process of Convection?

    The thermal expansion occurs on the heating of


    the fluid at the lower level. Thus, the fluid
    below becomes less dense and the hotter
    portion rises due to the process of buoyancy.
    The hot fluid replaces denser and colder fluid.
    The process repeats itself when that portion
    gets heated and rises. Therefore, it changes
    again by the colder upper layer. In this way,
    heat transfers via convection.
    Types of Convection

    Mainly, there are two kinds of heat transfer convection that


    are seen during the energy release. These are:
    a) Forced Convection
    b) Natural convection.
    Types of Convection

     Natural convection- The convection occurring


    due to buoyant force with the distinction in
    densities caused by the distinction in
    temperature is called natural convection. The
    oceanic wind is an example of natural
    convection.
     Forced convection- The external systems like
    pumps and fans create convection and is called
    forced convection. The geyser or water heater
    The link between the forced convection
    with Newton’s law of cooling

    P= dq/dt= hA (T-T0)
    Where,
    P= dq/dt is the rate at which heat gets transferred.
    H is the coefficient of convection heat transfer
    A is exposed surface area
    T is immersed object temperature
    T0 is the fluid temperature under convection
     Value
    of h is based on viscosity, density, thermal
    conductivity, and specific heat capacity
    Ideal Examples of Heat Transfer by
    Convection

    The easiest and most common examples of natural


    convection are land and sea breeze.
    Sea breeze- It occurs in the day time. The sun heats both
    land and sea. Moreover, the sea with greater heating
    capacity absorbs more Sun energy but warms up slower than
    the land surface. Hence, the temperature above land
    increases and heats the air. Moreover, warm air expands as it
    is less dense and creates low pressure over the land near
    shore. The air pressure difference leads the air to flow from
    sea to land. Finally, we refer to the sudden wind as a sea
    Land breeze

    Land breeze- The


    process happens at
    night. The sea and land
    get cool. Thus, the land
    loses heat rapidly than
    water due to heat
    capacity difference.
    The sea temperature is
    higher that results in
    low air pressure. A cool
    Thank you
