Question and Answer Short Heat Transfer NEWW

Heat is the total energy of molecular motion while temperature measures average molecular energy. Thermodynamics concerns energy transfer while heat transfer concerns transferring heat. The three heat transfer models are conduction through solids, convection between gases/liquids, and radiation through space/materials via particles. Thermal resistance is the inverse of thermal conductivity. Insulation thickness lowers heat transfer rate. Turbulent flow has higher heat transfer than laminar flow. Forced convection uses fans/water while natural convection relies on natural workings. Convection depends on fluid properties, velocity, surface roughness, and laminar or turbulent flow. The Prandtl number depends on fluid viscosity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity.

(Short Question on Heat Transfer )

Q1/ What is the difference between heat and temperature ?

So/ heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is is a measure of the
average energy of molecular motion in a substance.

Q2/what is the difference between heat transfer and thermodynamics ?

So/ thermodynamics concern to the energy but heat transfer concern transferring heat .

Q3/ Explain the main differences between the three models of heat transfer (conduction , conection ,
radiation )?

So/ conduction , must be have transferring in solid wall . convection , heat transferring between gas with
liquid and radiation , heat transferring of energy in the from of particles through space or through a
material medium .

Q4/ Explain with assistance of drawing and laws the analogy between heat transfer and electricity in in
resistance concept ?
So/

Q5/ If we have a hot block and want to cooling it , explain how we can increate the cooling rate of it ?

So/ we can cooling it by two type the first by forced by using water and fan and the second the natural
working .

Q6/ What is the relation between thermal conductivity (K) and Thermal Resistance (R) ?
So/The Thermal resistance of a material is the inverse of the thermal conductivity .

Q7/ Explain how the insulation material and thickness effect on heat transfer rate ?

So/ If The thickness the insulation Increase , causing the lower the heat transfer rate .

Q8/ what is the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow ?

So/ The turbulent flows always have a higher heat coefficient compared to the laminar flows .

Q9/ Explain with drawing the difference between natural and forced convection ?

So/

Q10/ convection heat transfer depends on some factors , main tence them ?

So / 1- Fluid properties ( µ, k , ρ , Cp )

2- Fluid velocity – geometry of the surface

3- roughness of the surface

4- type of the fluid flow ( laminar or turbulent)

Q11/ explain where and when the conduction and the convection heat transfer is equal through fluid
flow between two plates ?

So / In Steady state condition and one dimenstional conduction in the insulation .

Q12/ Explain how can you get the following dimensional number ( nusslet number ) Nu
, where : Nu = h Lc / K ?

So/ q·conv / q·cond = hΔT / kΔT / L = hL / k = Nu


Q13/ Briefiy compare compressible versus incompressible flow of fluids ?

So/Compressible : If the density of the fluid changes

Incompressible : If not the density of the fluid changes .

Q14/ what is the difference between the following types of fluid flow , steady un steady and uniform ?

So/ Steady : no change with time

Unsteady : change with time

Uniform : No change with location .

Q15/ Explain by drawing the development of the boundary layer for flow over a flat plate and the
different flow regimes ?
So/

Q16/ what is the prandle number (Pr) and on what it depends ?

So/ Pr = Molecular diffusivity momentum / Molecular diffusivity of heat = v/α = µ C p/ k
