Managing Heat Transfer presented by Vivek PhD Student, IGS 16th March, 2017
CONDUCTION APPLY HEAT APPLY HEAT • Heat transfer due to molecular vibrations via an energy gradient • Only molecular vibrations? • Occurs in both solids and fluids TAKEAWAY: Choice of material is vital
CONVECTION HEATER • Heat transfer in fluids due to bulk or macroscopic motion • Is the convection in the above picture natural/forced? TAKEAWAY: Convection can be enhanced by different techniques
RADIATION • Can occur through vacuum or any transparent medium (solid or fluid) • Emission of a spectrum of electromagnetic waves due to an object's temperature TAKEAWAY: Radiation depends mainly on high temperatures
SUMMARY Key aspects to be considered when managing heat transfer Temperature Choice of Material Surface area
FOOD FOR THOUGHT • Empirical relation: Stefan-Boltzmann law
