 What is Heat Transfer?
According to thermodynamic systems, heat transfer is defined as “The
movement of heat across the border of the system due to a difference in
temperature between the system and its surroundings.”
 Heat Transfer
Heat can travel from one place to another in several ways.

The different modes of heat transfer are:

-Conduction
-Convection
-Radiation
 Conduction
Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between
neighboring atoms or molecules. Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids,
where the particles are closer together than in gases, where particles are further apart. The
rate of energy transfer by conduction is higher when there is a large temperature difference
between the substances that are in contact.
Thermal Conductivity(W/m°k)
Rate of Conduction Local Heat Flux

Q/t= Rate of Conduction (W or J/s)

k= Thermal Conductivity (W/m°k)
A= Cross Sectional Area (m²)
d= Plane thickness (m)
 Convection
Convection is the movement of particles through a substance, transporting
their heat energy from hotter areas to cooler areas. Conduction however,
doesn't necessarily involve particles moving. Instead energy is passed from
one particle to another upon contact, transferring heat.
Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient
 Formula for Convection
Formula

Q=h A∆T
Q = heat transfer rate
h = convection heat-transfer coefficient
A = exposed surface area
∆T = temperature difference
 Radiation
Radiation heat transfer is a process where heat waves are emitted that
may be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through a colder body.
 Stefan–Boltzmann law
The constant is based on Stefan-Boltzmann's law, which states that the radiant
heat energy emitted from a unit area of the black body in one second (E) is
directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature, or E = σ x
T4. E is distributed over a range of wavelengths of radiation.

Stefan–Boltzmann Constant: σ=5.67×10−8 W/K4m2

 Heat Absorption
Heat absorption is an endothermic reaction. In an endothermic process, a
cooler object absorbs the hotter object's heat. Surface texture as well as shape
of an object will effect the absorption of heat.
