This document provides an overview of heat and mass transfer. It defines heat and mass transfer as dealing with the rate of transfer of thermal energy and discusses the three main modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. It also outlines some key topics that will be covered, including Fourier's law of conduction, Newton's law of cooling, Stefan-Boltzmann's law of radiation, thermal conductivity, heat transfer in gases, and heat exchangers. Equations for one-dimensional and radial conduction are presented.

ANALYSIS
Deals with system in equilibrium.
That is to bring a system from one
equilibrium state to another, how
much amount of heat is required.
Evaluates at what rate the change
of state occurs by calculating rate
of heat transfer in Joule/Sec =
Watt.

6. MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER
Conduction β The mode of heat transfer which generally (mark the word) occurs in a solid
body due to temperature difference associated with molecular latticeβs vibrational energy
as well by transfer of free electrons.
This is the reason behind why all electrically good conductors are also in general a good
conductor of heat as well. Viz the presence of abundant FREE electrons. EXCEPTION = Diamond

8. MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER
Convection β The mode of heat transfer which generally occurs between solid surface and
the surrounding fluid due to temperature difference associated with macroscopic bulk
motion of the fluid transporting thermal energy.

9. MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER
Radiation β All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero (viz 0 K)emits
thermal radiation. The rate of emission occurs in form of electromagnetic waves which
can propagate even through the vacuum !
Radiation is the mode of heat transfer which does not require any material medium and
occurs at electromagnetic wave propagation travelling with speed of light.

10. GOVERNING LAWS OF HEAT TRANSFER
1. Fourierβs law of conduction β The law states that the rate of heat transfer by
conduction along a direction (given) is directly proportional to the temperature gradient
along that direction and is also proportional to the area of heat transfer lying
perpendicular to the direction of heat transfer.

2. Newtonβs law of cooling (For Convection) β The law states that the rate of heat transfer
by convection between a solid body and surrounding fluid is directly proportional to the
temperature difference between them and is also directly proportional to the area of
contact or area of exposure between them.

15. THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (K)
HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
It is a thermo-physical property of a material which tells about the ability of material to
allow heat energy to get conducted through the material more rapidly/quickly.
Insulators (a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat) have very low
thermal conductivity and hence prevents the conduction heat transfer rate.

2. Refractory bricks 0.9
3. Glass wool 0.075
4. Polyurethane foam 0.02
16. HEAT CONDUCTION IN GASES
HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
Heat conduction occurs in gases by molecular momentum transfer when high velocity and
high temperature molecules collides with the low velocity low temperature molecules.
However, in general gases are bad conductor of heat.
Kair =0.026 w/mK
17. HEAT CONDUCTION IN GASES
HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
As the temperature of gases increase, their thermal conductivity also increases. This is
because at high temperature of gases, increased molecular activity may result in more no
of collisions per unit time and hence more momentum transfer rate & hence more
thermal heat conductivity.

Buckingham ο° theorem of dimensional analysis states that if there are βnβ number of
variables in any functional relationship both dependent and independent. And if all the
variables put together contains ββmβ number of fundamental dimensions, then the
functional relationship among the variables can be expressed in term of βn-mβ number of
dimensionless ο° terms.
