Module 1 : Conduction
Lecture 1 : Introduction and Heat Diffusion Equation
 
Convection (Intro)
  • Transfer of energy due to bulk motion of the fluid and random molecular motion.
  • Newton’s law of cooling
 
(1.2)
  • Where h, is heat transfer coefficient (W/m2.K), Ts is the surface temperature and Tb is some reference temperature. The reference temperature is chosen so that ‘h’ is constant.
Radiation (Intro.)
  • Energy transfer due to electro-magnetic waves.
  • Equation often used for radiation calculations:
 
(1.3)
  • ε, is emissivity of the surface, σ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant
  •  σ = 5.67 x 10-8  W/m2.K4), Ts is a surface temperature and Tsurr is an appropriate surrounding temperature
