Heat Transfer
• Heat transfer occurs any time there is a
temperature difference between two objects
and occurs in the direction of decreasing
temperature, meaning from a hot object to a
cold object.
Heat transfer: the mechanisms
Conduction:
Q = kA(THot-TCold)t/d
Convection:
A process associated with the
motion of the medium. When a
hot material flows into a cold
material, it will heat the region
- and vise versa.

What happens to the particles in a liquid or a
gas when you heat them?

movement.
CONVECTION
Q = HcA(THot-TCold)
Radiation:
The transfer of heat via electromagnetic radiation. Example - the
Sun.
RADIATION
Q = σ (THot – TCold)4A
Q is heat transferred through radiation
σ is Stefan Boltzmann Constant
THot is the temperature of the hot system
TCold is the temperature of the cold system
A is the area of the surface
Stefan Boltzmann Constant (σ) is calculated as:
Heat flux is the flow per unit area and per unit time of heat. It is
directly proportional to the temperature gradient.
Units:
• q is in [Wm-2]
• k is in [Wm-1K-1]
