Process Heat Transfer Till 9th February 2023
{Comment: What do you mean by homogeneous and isentropic material? The term homogenous means, the
values of physical properties of a material do not vary with position within the body of the material. E.g., The
value of thermal conductivity at position (x1, y1, z1) will be same as that at some other position (x2, y2, z2).
The term isentropic means, the value of physical properties at a point in different directions will be same. That
is to say kx=ky=kz at a point. }
(c ) No heat generation
When there is no heat generation inside the element, the differential heat
conduction equation will become,
Or,
The area of the sphere normal to the direction of heat transfer at any location is A=4πr2, where r is the value of the
radius at that location.
