Steady versus Transient Heat
Transfer
• The term steady implies noy p
change with time at any point
within the medium, while
transient implies variationtransient implies variation
with time or time dependence.
Therefore, the temperature or
heat flux remains unchanged
with time during steady heat
transfer through a medium atg
any location, although both
quantities may vary from one
location to anotherlocation to another
P.Talukdar/Mech-IITD
Multidimensional Heat
Transfer
• Heat transfer problems are also classified as being one-p g
dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional,
depending on the relative magnitudes of heat transfer rates in
different directions and the level of accuracy desireddifferent directions and the level of accuracy desired
Ex: 1‐D heat transfer:
Heat transfer through the glass of a 
i d b id d t bwindow can be considered to be one‐
dimensional since heat transfer through 
the glass will occur predominantly in one 
direction (the direction normal to the (
surface of the glass) and heat transfer in 
other directions (from one side
edge to the other and from the top edge 
to the bottom) is negligible
P.Talukdar/Mech-IITD
to the bottom) is negligible
Heat GenerationHeat Generation
• A medium through which heat is conducted may involve the
conversion of electrical nuclear or chemical energy into heatconversion of electrical, nuclear, or chemical energy into heat
(or thermal) energy. In heat conduction analysis, such
conversion processes are characterized as heat generation.
• Heat generation is a volumetric phenomenon. That is, it occurs
throughout the body of a medium. Therefore, the rate of heat
generation in a medium is usually specified per unit volumegeneration in a medium is usually specified per unit volume
whose unit is W/m3
The rate of heat generation in a
medium may vary with time as wellmedium may vary with time as well
as position within the medium.

Boundary and Initial Conditions
• The temperature distribution in a medium depends on the
conditions at the boundaries of the medium as well as the heat
transfer mechanism inside the medium. To describe a heat
transfer problem completely, two boundary conditions must be
given for each direction of the coordinate system along whichgiven for each direction of the coordinate system along which
heat transfer is significant.
Th f d ifTherefore, we need to specify two
boundary conditions for one-dimensional
problems, four boundary conditions for
two dimensional problems and sixtwo-dimensional problems, and six
boundary conditions for three-dimensional
problems
P.Talukdar/Mech-IITD

• Note that under steady conditions, the heat conduction
equation does not involve any time derivatives, and thus we do
not need to specify an initial conditionp y
The heat conduction equation is first order in time, and thus the initial
condition cannot involve any derivatives (it is limited to a specified
temperature).
However, the heat conduction equation is second order in space
coordinates, and thus a boundary condition may involve first

The temperature of an exposed surface can
usually be measured directly and easily.
Therefore, one of the easiest ways toy
specify the thermal conditions on a surface
is to specify the temperature. For one-

specified temperature boundary conditions

    Boundary and InitialConditions • The temperature distribution in a medium depends on the conditions at the boundaries of the medium as well as the heat transfer mechanism inside the medium. To describe a heat transfer problem completely, two boundary conditions must be given for each direction of the coordinate system along whichgiven for each direction of the coordinate system along which heat transfer is significant. Th f d ifTherefore, we need to specify two boundary conditions for one-dimensional problems, four boundary conditions for two dimensional problems and sixtwo-dimensional problems, and six boundary conditions for three-dimensional problems P.Talukdar/Mech-IITD
