Page 4
• Heat: The form of energy that can be transferred from one
system to another as a result of temperature difference.
• Thermodynamics is concerned with the amount of heat
transfer as a system undergoes a process from one
equilibrium state to another.
• Heat Transfer deals with the determination of the rates of
such energy transfers as well as variation of temperature.
• The transfer of energy as heat is always from the higher-
temperature medium to the lower-temperature one.
• Heat transfer stops when the two mediums reach the same
temperature.
• Heat can be transferred in three different modes:
conduction, convection, radiation.

ENGINEERING HEAT TRANSFER
The heat transfer problems encountered in practice can be consideredin
two groups: (1) rating and (2) sizing problems.
The rating problems deal with the determination of the heat transfer ratefor
an existing system at a specified temperaturedifference.
The sizing problems deal with the determination of the size of a system in
order to transfer heat at a specified rate for a specified temperature
difference.
An engineering device or process can be studied either
The experimental approach has the advantage that we deal with the actual
physical system, and the desired quantity is determined by measurement,
within the limits of experimental error. However, this approach is expensive,
time-consuming, and often impractical.
or
The analytical approach (including the numerical approach) has the
advantage that it is fast and inexpensive, but the results obtainedare
subject to the accuracy of the assumptions, approximations,and

8. CONDUCTION
Conduction: The transfer of energy from the
more energetic particles of a substance to the
adjacent less energetic ones as a result of
interactions between the particles.
In gases and liquids, conduction is due to the
collisions and diffusion of the molecules during
their random motion.
In solids, it is due to the combination of
vibrations of the molecules in a lattice and the
energy transport by free electrons.
The rate of heat conduction through a plane
layer is proportional to the temperature
difference across the layer and the heat transfer
area, but is inversely proportional to the
thickness of the layer.

19. Thermal Conductivity
Conductivity of Gases: kinetic theory at moderately low
temperature
At high temperature region, the molecules have the higher
velocity than the low temperature region.
Molecules are in continuous random motion, colliding with
each others and exchanging energy and momentum.
If molecules move from higher temperature region to low
temperature region, it transport kinetic energy to low
temperature region through collision with low temperature
molecules.
20. A material that has a high thermal
conductivity or a low heat capacity will
obviously have a large thermal diffusivity.
The larger the thermal diffusivity, the faster
the propagation of heat into the medium.
A small value of thermal diffusivity means
that heat is mostly absorbed by the

21. Thermal Conductivity – Points to remember
• It’s a physical property of a substance. k=f(temp, position, nature of the
substance, pr.[gases only])
• For isotropic material, kx=ky=kz=k (Properties of a material are identical in all directions)
• k is higher for pure metals. For alloys k is less than that of pure metals
• The k of liquids and gases is smaller than that of solids because of their larger
intermolecular spacing
• k is very low for gases and vapours; insulating materials and inorganic liquids
have k that lie in between those of metals and gases
• The k for most pure metals (except aluminium and uranium) decreases with
increasing temperature
• Air is a bad conductor of heat (0.022 W/mK)
• The k of a gas increases with increasing temp. and decreasing mol. wt.
• Super conductors are materials having high k at very low temp (eg: k for

38. CONVECTION
Convection: The mode of
energy transfer between a
solid surface and the
adjacent liquid or gas that is
in motion, and it involves
the combined effects of
conduction and fluid motion.
The faster the fluid motion,
the greater the convection
heat transfer.
In the absence of any bulk
fluid motion, heat transfer
between a solid surface and
the adjacent fluid is by pure
conduction.
Heat transfer from a hot surface to air
by convection.
Page 38
39. Forced convection: If the
fluid is forced to flow over
the surface by external
means such as a fan,
pump, or the wind.
Natural (or free)
convection: If the fluid
motion is caused by
buoyancy forces that are
induced by density
differences due to the
variation of temperature
in the fluid.
The cooling of a boiled egg by
forced and natural convection.
Heat transfer processes that involve change of phase of a fluid are also
considered to be convection because of the fluid motion induced during
the process, such as the rise of the vapor bubbles during boiling or the
fall of the liquid droplets during condensation.

41. RADIATION
Page 41
• Radiation: The energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic
waves (or photons) as a result of the changes in the electronic
configurations of the atoms or molecules.
• Unlike conduction and convection, the transfer of heat by radiation does
not require the presence of an intervening medium.
• In fact, heat transfer by radiation is fastest (at the speed of light) andit
suffers no attenuation in a vacuum. This is how the energy of the sun
reaches the earth.
• In heat transfer studies we are interested in thermal radiation, which is
the form of radiation emitted by bodies because of their temperature.
• All bodies at a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation.
• Radiation is a volumetric phenomenon, and all solids, liquids, and
gases emit, absorb, or transmit radiation to varying degrees.
• However, radiation is usually considered to be a surface phenomenon
for solids.

Summary
• The rate of steady state transfer between two surfaces is equal to the
temperature difference between those two surfaces divided by the total
thermal resistance between those two surfaces
• The ratio of the temperature drop to the thermal resistance across any
layer is constant
• The temperature drop across any layer is proportional to the thermal
resistance of the layer

To determine the rate of heat transfer through the wall we do not need to
know the surface temperatures of the wall (Ref eqn.1)
How to get wall surface temperature?

A furnace wall consists of 200 mm
layer of refractory bricks, 6 mm
layer of steel plate and a 100 mm
layer of insulation bricks. The
maximum temperature of the wall is
1150oC on the furnace side and
minimum temperature is 40oC on
the outer side. Heat loss from the
wall is 400 W/m2. It is known that
there is a thin layer of air between
the layers of refractory bricks and
steel plate. Thermal conductivities
for the three different layers are
1.52, 45 and 0.138 W/moC. Find:

The additional insulation increases the conduction resistance of the insulation
layer but decreases the convection resistance of the surface because of the
increase in the outer surface area for convection. The heat transfer from the pipe
may increase or decrease, depending on which effect dominates.

The variation of heat transfer rate with the outer radius of insulation r2 is plotted in below
figure. The value of r2 at which heat transfer rate reaches maximum is determined from
the requirement that dqr/dr=0(zero slope). Performing the differentiation and solving
for r2 yields the critical radius of insulation for a cylindrical body to be

The rate of heat transfer from the cylinder increases
with the addition of insulation for r2< rcr, reaches a
maximum when r2= rcr, and starts to decrease for
r2> rcr. Thus, insulating the pipe may actually
increase the rate of heat transfer from the pipe
instead of decreasing it when r2< rcr .

insulation, each having the thickness of 20mm. The thermal conductivity of one material is 5
times that of the other,
Assuming that the inner and outer surface temperatures of composite insulation are fixed, how
much will heat transfer be increased when better insulation material is next to the pipe than it is
outer layer?
Case 1: better insulation is inside

(k=0.092 W/moC) and 40 mm of low temperature insulation (k=0.062 W/moC). The inner and
outer surface temperature as measures are 390oC and 40oC respectively. calculate:
(i) The total heat loss per hour (ii) The total heat loss/m2 of pipe surface (ii) The total heat loss/m2
of outer surface, and (iv) the temperature between two layers of insulation.
