2. RADIATION
- thermal energy that is transferred in the form of
(electromagnetic) rays or waves and can occur in solids,
liquids, or gases.
- All objects emit radiation, but hot objects emit more than
cool objects. The hotter the object, the more radiation it
emits.
There is NO TOUCHING of the object, you can feel the
thermal energy without touching it. (emit means gives off)
example: energy from the sun by rays or heat from a fire.
3. CONDUCTION
-the direct transfer of thermal energy that occurs when molecules
bump into one another when two substances are touching. When
fast moving molecules (warmer object) bump into slower moving
molecules (cooler object) it transfers some of it’s energy..
The closer together the molecules in a substance are, the more
effectively they can conduct heat.
4. Conduction (cont.)
It works well in solids such as metals where the molecules are closer
together (because they only have to move a short distance to bump
into each other), but not as well in gases or liquids. Thermal energy
ALWAYS travels from HOT to COLD!
example: hot sand/pavement transferring to your feet when you walk
on it, or ice melting in your hand
5. CONVECTION
• The transfer of thermal energy by the flow of gases or liquids. In
gas and liquids, molecules can move much more easily than they
can in a solid, as a result, the more energetic molecules can travel
from one place to another, and carry their energy along with them.
6. Convection (cont.)
• example: pot of water boiling (because the molecules are farther
apart in the warm water, this water is less dense than the cooler
water. As a result, the warm water rises and is replaced at the bottom
of the pot by cooler water.) or water in a bath tub, preheating an
oven.
7. Heat Transfer QUIZ
1. Microwaving method
2. Warmth from a fire
3. Accidentally touching a hot light bulb
4. Sunbathing on the beach
5. Noodles boiling in a pot
6. “Nuking” your hot chocolate
7. Burning your finger as you remove it from the microwave
8. Air popping method
9. A pot sitting on a HOT stovetop eye
10. Jiffy Pop method
8. Condensed Heat Transfer Notes
• RADIATION
- electromagnetic rays or waves
- solids, liquids or gases
- EMIT (to give off)
- NO TOUCHING
EX: sun’s rays, campfire, microwave, popcorn method
9. Condensed Notes (cont.)
• CONDUCTION
- direct transfer of heat
- TOUCHING or direct contact
- faster molecules = warmer temperatures
slower molecules = cooler temperatures
- TRANSFERS HOT TO COLD
- Solids = more molecules = best conductors
EX: walking across hot pavement / sand
touching a HOT stovetop eye
Jiffy Pop popcorn
10. Condensed Notes (cont.)
• CONVECTION
- gases & liquids
- MOVEMENT to transfer heat
- warm air rises, cool air is lower
EX: preheating an oven
cooking noodles in boiling water
Air Pop popcorn
12. Example (2)
A two-tube-pass, one shell-pass,
shell-and-tube heat exchanger:
condenser, evaporator, feedwater
heater, steam generator
The first tube-pass flows is in the same as
the shell-pass: parallel flow.
The second one flows in the opposite
direction to the shell-pass: counterflow.
13. Example (3)
Blast furnace: air is
blowing into the furnace to
maintain temp. that is higher than
800°C. Melting iron flows into
ladle.
Continuous casting can be
achieved by cooling the molten
iron in a convey system. Precise
temperature control is critical to
the quality of the final product.
14. Example (4) Weather Convection
Day time: sea breeze coming toward
the land as a result of natural
convection
Night time: wind blowing from
land to sea because of the
natural convection
