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

quantity indicates heat transfer in the negative

 The temp. at a point in a medium is described

by the location of that point and time t.


 The location of a point can be specified as

(x,y,z) : in rectangular coordinates


(r,Φ,z) : in cylindrical coordinates, and
(r,Φ ,θ) : in spherical coordinates
 Then the temperature at a point (x, y, z) at

time t in rectangular coordinates is expressed

5 as T(x, y, z, t).
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.

 As it is insulated on the lateral side, Conduction heat

transfer will occur along the axial direction only.


 This heat transfer is due to the temperature
difference of the two faces (T1>T2).

 The heat transfer qx will depend on A, Δx and ΔT.

 It is observed that the conduction heat transfer is


proportional to A and ΔT, while it is inversely
proportional to Δx.
 The collective effect can be represented by:
ΔT
qx  A ΔT T1  T2

 The above can be written as an equation using

a proportionality constant k, thermal

needs an imposition limit Δx→0 which gives

the isothermal surface having a positive value.

dimensional representation as:

normal to the isothermal see figure

13 system, heat flow direction, and temperature gradient

The heat flux vector at a point P on this

surface must be perpendicular to the


surface, and it must point in the
direction of decreasing temperature.

surface at point P,

that the thermal conductivity (k) does


not vary with x, y, or z.

2.2.1 The Solid State
Solids-comprised of free electrons and
atoms bound in a periodic arrangement
called lattice.
Transport of thermal energy is due to: 1)
migration of free electrons and 2) lattice
vibrational waves (when quantized are
termed as phonons analogous to
photons of electromagnetic waves.)

2.2.3 Insulation Systems
Consist of low thermal conductivity materials
combined to achieve an even lower system
thermal conductivity.
Conventional forms are fiber-, powder-, and
flake-type insulations, where the solid material is
finely dispersed throughout the air space.
If small voids or hollow spaces are formed by
bonding portions of the solid material, a rigid
matrix is formed. Foamed systems are typical
examples.
Reflective insulations are composed of
multilayered, parallel, thin sheets or foils of high
reflectivity.

2.2.4 Other Relevant Properties
These are in general called thermophysical
properties classified as transport and
thermodynamic properties.
The transport properties are the ones that have
direct effect on momentum, heat and mass
transfer.
These are thermal conductivity, k (for heat
transfer), kinematic viscosity, υ(for momentum
transfer), and diffusion coefficient, D(for mass
transfer).

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:

1. Constant Surface Temperature:- The


surface is maintained at a fixed
temperature at any time.
T(0,t) = Ts

 Consider a long cylindrical layer (such as a circular pipe) of
inner radius r1,
outer radius r2, length L, and average thermal conductivity

 The two surfaces of the cylindrical layer are maintained at
constant temperatures T1 and T2. There is no heat
generation in the layer and the thermal conductivity is
constant.
 For one-dimensional heat conduction through the
cylindrical layer, we have T(r). Then Fourier’s law of heat
conduction for heat transfer through the cylindrical layer

 Now consider steady one-dimensional heat


flow through a cylindrical or spherical layer
that is exposed to convection on both sides to
fluids at temperatures and with heat transfer
coefficients h1 and h2, respectively, as shown

consists of one conduction and two convection
resistances in series, just like the one for the
plane wall, and the rate of heat transfer under
steady conditions can be expressed as

 Note that A in the convection resistance relation


Rconv=1/hA is the surface area at which convection
occurs.
 It is equal to A=2πrL for a cylindrical surface and A=4π
for a spherical surface of radius r.
 Also note that the thermal resistances are in series, and
thus the total thermal resistance is determined by simply
adding the individual resistances, just like the electrical
resistances connected in series
 Steady heat transfer through multilayered cylindrical or
spherical shells can be handled just like multilayered
plane walls discussed earlier by simply adding an
additional resistance in series for each additional layer.

surroundings at 5°C by natural convection and radiation,
with a combined natural convection and radiation heat

1. To increase the convection heat transfer coefficient


h. or
2. To increase the surface area
 Increasing h may require the installation of a pump or

71
fan, or replacing the existing one with a larger one.

 The alternative is to increase the surface area

by attaching to the surface extended surface


called fins.
 Fins are made of highly conductive material

such aluminum.
 Fins surface are manufactured by extruding,

welding, or wrapping a thin metal sheet on a


surface.

 The material for fins are selected on the basis of the


following properties:
high thermal conductivity,
light-weight, castability and
corrosion resistant.
 Types of fins:
 Straight fins(to the surface of the body and in
parallel directions),
 Radial fins( fitted on the cylindrical surface),
 Annular fins (annular shape fixed on the periphery
of the cylindrical body)and
 Pin fin(have a lower cross-section area but in this
case the surface area exposed to the convection is
more)

2.6.1 Application of fins
Based on the purpose of fins, to increase
the rate of convective heat transfer, the
fins are used in the following applications:
1. Radiator used in automobile
2. On engine surface in bikes
3. Compressors
4. Condensers on refrigerators or AC
5. On electric transformers
6. On electric motor
7. other electric and electronic components

 Substitution of this relation into above equation

gives the differential equation governing heat


transfer in fins,

When determining the rate of heat transfer
from a finned surface, we must consider
the unfinned portion of the surface as well
as the fins.
Therefore, the rate of heat transfer for a
surface containing n fins can be expressed
as

86
Example 2.6
A hot surface at 100°C is to be cooled by
attaching 3-cm-long, 0.25-cm-diameter
aluminum pin fins (k = 237 W/m · °C) to it,
with a center-to-center distance of 0.6 cm.

The temperature of the surrounding medium


is 30°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on
the surfaces is 35 W/m2 · °C. Determine the
rate of heat transfer from the surface for a
1-m 1-m section of the plate. Also determine
the overall effectiveness of the fins
