conduction
Introduction:
heat transfer is a basic science that deals with the rate of transfer of thermal
energy. They are three basic mechanisms of heat transfer, which are conduction,
transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of asubstance to the adja
cent, less energetic ones as a result of interactions between the particles. Con
vectionis the mode of heat transfer between a solidsurface and the adjacent liq
and fluid motion. Radiation is the energyemitted by matter in the form of elec
tromagnetic waves (or photons) as a resultof the changes in the electronic con
Conduction is the transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of a sub-
stance to the adjacent less energetic ones as a result of interactions between the
particles. Conduction can take place in solids, liquids, or gases. In gases and liq-
uids, 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 freeelectrons.
The rate of heat conduction through a medium depends on the geometry of the
medium, its thickness, and the material of the medium, as well as the tempera-
turedifference across the medium.

Experiment 2“Effect of surface contact”
Objective: To demonstrate the effect of surface contact on thermal conduc-
tion between adjacent slabs of material.
Theory:
When two surface are in contact, path of thermal conduction exists only across
those points where actual physical contact occurs on microscopic scale the de-
gree of thermal contact depend on the respective surface finishes.
Air trapped in the gap between each surface acts as a thermal insulator resulting
in temperature step the conduction path. This can be reduced by the use of con-
duction compound, which fills the air spaces and improved thermal contact.
The Thermal Resistance Concept, equation (1) for heat conduction through a
plane wall can be rearranged as;
T1−T2
Qcond, wall = (W) (1)
R wall
Where,
𝐿
Rwall = 𝑘𝐴(°C/W) (2)
is the thermal resistance of the wall against heat conduction or simply the con-
duction resistance of the wall. Note that the thermal resistance of a medium
depends on the geometry and the thermal properties of the medium.

Experiment 5 “Radial conduction”
Objective:
To examine the temperature profiles and determine the rate of heat transfer re-
sulting from radial steady conduction through the wall of a cylinder.
Theory:
Consider a long cylindrical layer (such as a circular pipe) of inner radius r1, outer
radius r2, length L, and average thermal conductivity k (Fig. 1). The two surfaces
of the cylindrical layer are maintained at constant temperatures T1 and T2. There
is no heat generation in the layer and the thermal conductivity is constant. For
one-dimensional heat conduction through the cylindrical layer, we have T(r).
Then Fourier’s law of heat conduction for heat transfer through the cylindrical
layer can be expressed as
dT
Qcond, cyl= - k A (W)
dr

Where A = 2 𝝿 r Lis the heat transfer area at location r. Note that A depends on r,
and thus it varies in the direction of heat transfer. Separating the variables in the
above equation and integrating from r = r1, where T(r1) = T1, to r = r2, where T(r2)
= T2, gives

Exepriment 6 "Stefan-Boltzmann law”
Objectives:
To show that the intensity of radiation on a surface is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance of the surface from the radiation source.
To show that the intensity of radiation varies as the power of the source tempera-
ture.
Introduction:
Radiation is the energy emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves
(or photons) as a result of the changes in the electronic configurationsof the at-
oms or molecules. Unlike conduction and convection, the transfer ofenergy by
radiation does not require the presence of an intervening medium. In fact, energy
transfer by radiation is fastest (at the speed of light) and itsuffers no attenuation
in a vacuum. This is how the energy of the sun reachesthe earth.
In heat transfer studies we are interested in thermal radiation, which is the form
of radiation emitted by bodies because of their temperature. It differs from other
forms of electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, microwaves, ra-
dio waves, and television waves that are not related to temperature. All bodies at
a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation. Radiation is a volu-
metric 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 that are opaque to thermal radiation such as
metals, wood, and rocks since the radiation emitted by the interior regions of
such material can never reach the surface, and the radiation incident on such
bodies is usually absorbed within a few microns from the surface.
17
Theory:
The total energy dQ from an element dA can be imagined to flow through a hem-
isphere of radius r. a surface element on this hemisphere dA 1 lies on line making
an angle ɸ with the normal and the solid angle subtended by dA 1 at dA isdwɸ =
dA1/r2.
If the rate of flow energy through dA1 is dQɸ then dQɸ = iɸdwɸdA where iɸ is the
intensity of radiation in the ɸ direction.
Figure 1
The maximum rate of radiation that can be emitted from a surface at an absolute
temperature Ts(in K or R) is given by the Stefan–Boltzmann law as
18
Qemit = εσAsTs4(W)(2)
where ε is the emissivity of the surface. The property emissivity, whose value is
in the range 0≤ ε ≤1, is a measure of how closely a surface approximates a
blackbody for which ε=1.
Procedure:
In first experimental the radiometer reading (R) were recorded at distance (X),
the second experimental the temperature reading (t) and (R) were recorded at
ambient conditions.

Exepriment8 Free convection - fixed power”
Objectives:
To compare the surface temperatures of the heat transfer surfaces in forced and
free convection for a fixed input power.
Introduction:
Convection is the mode of energy transfer between a solid surface and the ad-
jacent liquid or gas that is in motion, and it involves the combined effects of con-
duction 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. The presence of bulk
motion of the fluid enhances the heat transfer between the solid surface and the
fluid, but it also complicates the determination of heat transfer rates.
Description:
In the first experiment the fan was removed, the heat transfer surface was cho-
sen, the power increased to 15 watts, after 30 minutes (to stabiles) T 1 and T2
were recorded, finally the experimental was repeated for the other heat transfer-
surfaces.
Note: In the second experimental the fan wasn’t removed.

Theory:
Heat transfer processes that involve change of phase of a fluid are also consid-
ered 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 drop-
lets during condensation. Despite the complexity of convection, the rate of con-
vection heat transfer is observed to be proportional to the temperature difference,
and is conveniently expressed by Newton’s law of cooling as
where h is the convection heat transfer coefficient in W/m2 · °C or Btu/h · ft2 · °F,
Asis the surface area through which convection heat transfer takes place, Tsis the
surface temperature, and T∞ is the temperature of the fluid sufficiently far from
the surface. Note that at the surface, the fluid temperature equals the surface
temperature of the solid. The convection heat transfer coefficient h is not a prop-
erty of the fluid. It is an experimentally determined parameter whose value de-
pends on all the variables influencing convection such as the surface geometry,
the nature of fluid motion, the properties of the fluid, and the bulk fluid velocity.

ered to be convection because of the fluid motion induced during the process,

29
Nusselt Number
In convection studies, it is common practice to nondimensionalize the governing
equations and combine the variables, which group together into dimensionless-
numbers in order to reduce the number of total variables. It is also common prac-
tice to nondimensionalize the heat transfer coefficient h with the Nusselt number,
defined as
ℎ𝐿𝑐
Nu = 𝑘 (2)
wherek is the thermal conductivity of the fluid and Lcis the characteristic length.
The Nusselt number is named after Wilhelm Nusselt, who made significantcontri-
butions to convective heat transfer in the first half of the twentiethcentury, and it
is viewed as the dimensionless convection heat transfer coefficient.
