Almost all industrial processes are involved with heating or cooling, which
requires heat transfer.
The science that deals with the determination of the rates of such
energy transfer is called HEAT TRASFER.
The optimal insulation thickness in the walls and roofs of the houses, on hot
water or steam pipes is again determined on the basis of a heat transfer
analysis with economic consideration.
Heat transfer equipments which are designed primarily on the basis of heat
transfer analysis include:
Heat exchangers
Boilers
Condensers
Radiators
Furnaces
Refrigerators
Solar collectors
Rating problems
Sizing problems
ENERGY TRANSFER:
The amount of heat transfer per unit time is called heat transfer rate
When the rate of heat transfer is available, then the total amount of heat
transfer during a time interval can be determined from:
The rate of heat transfer per unit area normal to the direction of heat transfer
is called HEAT FLUX
ENERGY TRANSFER:
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
CONDUCTION:
Collisions (Gases)
Thickness
