2.1. Introduction
• The driving force for any form of heat transfer
is the temp difference.
• Unlike temperature, heat transfer has direction
as well as magnitude and thus it is a vector
quantity.
• Hence coordinate systems can be used to
analyze the direction of heat transfer
• The general accepted convention is that heat
transfer in the positive direction of a coordinate
axis is positive and in the opposite direction it
is negative.
• Therefore, a positive quantity indicates heat
transfer in the positive direction and a negative
3
quantity indicates heat transfer in the negative

2.1.1 Multidimensional Heat
Transfer
Depending on the relative magnitudes of heat
transfer rates in different directions and the
level of accuracy desired heat transfer
problems are classified as being:
One-dimensional,
Two-dimensional, or
Three-dimensional,
In the most general case, heat transfer through
a medium is three-dimensional.
A heat transfer is said to be one dimensional if
the temperature in the medium varies in one
direction more significantly whereas the
6 variation of temperature and thus the heat
transfer in other directions are negligible.

2.4 BOUNDARY AND INITIAL
CONDITIONS
The complete solution of the heat equation
requires the state at the boundaries and if the
situation is time dependent, initial condition
will be required.
Since the heat equation is a second order in
spatial coordinates, two boundary conditions
must be expressed for each coordinate needed
to describe the system. As the equation is also
first order in time, one initial condition must be
satisfied.
Three kinds of boundary conditions commonly
encountered in heat transfer are:

Example 2.5
In Example 1.7, we calculated the heat loss rate from
a human body in air and water environments. Now
we consider the same conditions except that the
surroundings (air or water) are at 10 oC To reduce the
heat loss rate, the person wears special sporting
gear (snow suit and wet suit) made from a
nanostructured silica aerogel insulation with an
extremely low thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/m.K
The emissivity of the outer surface of the snow and
wet suits ε= 0.95. What thickness of aerogel
insulation is needed to reduce the heat loss rate to
100 W (a typical metabolic heat generation rate) in
air and water. What are the resulting skin
temperatures?
