General Problem of Heat Exchange 1 1. Introduction The radiation of the sun in which the planet is incessantly plunged, pene- trates the air, the earth, and the waters; its elements are divided, change direction in every way, and, penetrating the mass of the globe, would raise its temperature more and more, if the heat acquired were not exactly balanced by that which escapes in rays from all points of the surface and expands through the sky. The Analytical Theory of Heat, J. Fourier 1.1 Heat transfer People have always understood that something flows from hot objects to cold ones.We call that flow heat. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, scientists imagined that all bodies contained an invisible fluid which they called caloric. Caloric was assigned a variety of properties, some of which proved to be inconsistent with nature (e.g., it had weight and it could not be created nor destroyed).But its most important feature was that it flowed from hot bodies into cold ones.It was a very useful way to

    HEAT TRANSFER and the SECOND LAW Thus Far We’Ve Used the First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy Is Conserved

    HEAT TRANSFER AND THE SECOND LAW Thus far we’ve used the first law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved. Where does the second law come in? One way is when heat flows. Heat flows in response to a temperature gradient. If two points are in thermal contact and at different temperatures, T1 and T2 then energy is transferred between the two in the form of heat, Q. Heat Transfer and The Second Law page 1 © Neville Hogan The rate of heat flow from point 1 to point 2 depends on the two temperatures. Q˙ = f(T1,T2) If heat flows from hot to cold, (the standard convention) this function must be such that Q˙ > 0 iff T1 > T2 Q˙ < 0 iff T1 < T2 Q˙ = 0 iff T1 = T2 Heat Transfer and The Second Law page 2 © Neville Hogan In other words, the relation must be restricted to 1st and 3rd quadrants of the Q˙ vs. T1 – T2 plane.

He earned a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Gannon University. Page 13.49.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 A Homemade 2-Dimensional Thermal Conduction Apparatus Designed as a Student Project Abstract: It can be fairly expensive to equip a heat transfer lab with commercially available devices. It is always nice to be able to make a device that provides an effective lab experience for the students. It is an extra bonus if the device can be designed as a student project, giving the students working on the device both a real design experience and a better understanding of the principles involved with the device and the associated lab exercise. One example of such a device is a 2-dimensional heat conduction device which was designed and built as a student senior design project by mechanical engineering technology students at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. The device described in this paper allows the students to determine the thermal conductivity of several different materials, and to graphically see the effect of contact resistance in the heat conduction path. The students use the conductivity information to try to determine what material the test samples are made of. This paper describes the design of the device and the basic theory including a description of how it applies to this particular device.

Nusselt number Average Nusselt number: convective heat transfer ℎ퐿 Nu = = L conductive heat transfer 푘 where L is the characteristic length, k is the thermal conductivity of the fluid, h is the convective heat transfer coefficient of the fluid. Selection of the characteristic length should be in the direction of growth (or thickness) of the boundary layer; some examples of characteristic length are: the outer diameter of a cylinder in (external) cross flow (perpendicular to the cylinder axis), the length of a vertical plate undergoing natural convection, or the diameter of a sphere. For complex shapes, the length may be defined as the volume of the fluid body divided by the surface area. The thermal conductivity of the fluid is typically (but not always) evaluated at the film temperature, which for engineering purposes may be calculated as the mean-average of the bulk fluid temperature T∞ and wall surface temperature Tw. Local Nusselt number: hxx Nu = x k The length x is defined to be the distance from the surface boundary to the local point of interest. 2.

    TOPIC 3. CONDUCTION Conduction Is the Transfer of Heat Energy In

    TOPIC 3. CONDUCTION Conduction is the transfer of heat energy in which kinetic energy 1s passed from one molecule to another by collisions. Thermal conductivity de­ pends on the availability of free electrons drifting through intramolecular space, so metals, with an abundance of free electrons, are good conductors, and organic materials are generally poor conductors. Air has a low the­ rmal conductivity, and air trapped between hairs in an animal's coat con­ tributes significantly to the insulating properties of the hair coat. Conduction is associated with temperature gradients as faster vibrat­ ing molecules, characteristic of higher heat energy, strike slower vibrating molecules and give up energy. Energy is dissipated from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature regions. When the energy is equally distributed, molecular vibrations are on the average, uniform and energy exchange by conduction is equal in all directions. Ecologically, conduction is an important mode of heat transfer through the hair coats of animals to the soil and snow. An animal bedded in the snow, for example, has a subskin temperature that is higher than the snow. Heat energy passes through the skin and hair coat to the snow. The rate at which heat energy is conducted through the insulating hair is dependent on the depth of the insulating materJal, the temperature gradient between the skin and the snow, and the efficiency wi th which the hair conducts heat. The efficiency is expressed as a thermal conductivity coefficient, and is often represented by the symbol k. It is analagous to the convection coef­ ficients discussed in the previous TOPIC.

    Effect of Phonon Dispersion on Thermal Conduction Across Si/Ge Interfaces1

    Effect of phonon dispersion on thermal conduction across Si/Ge interfaces1 Dhruv Singh Jayathi Y. Murthy* Timothy S. Fisher School of Mechanical Engineering and Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN -47907, USA ABSTRACT We report finite-volume simulations of the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for heat conduction across the heterogeneous interfaces in SiGe superlattices. The diffuse mismatch model incorporating phonon dispersion and polarization is implemented over a wide range of Knudsen numbers. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity of a Si/Ge superlattice is much lower than that of the constitutive bulk materials for superlattice periods in the submicron regime. We report results for effective thermal conductivity of various material volume fractions and superlattice periods. Details of the non-equilibrium energy exchange between optical and acoustic phonons that originate from the mismatch of phonon spectra in silicon and germanium are delineated for the first time. Conditions are identified for which this effect can produce significantly more thermal resistance than that due to boundary scattering of phonons. * Corresponding Author, e-mail: [email protected] 1Paper presented at the 2009 ASME/Pacific Rim Technical Conference and Exhibition on Packaging and Integration of Electronic and Photonic Systems, MEMS and NEMS (InterPACK ‟09), San Francisco, CA, Jul 19-23, 2009. 1 I. INTRODUCTION During the past decade, there has been growing interest in developing nanostructured materials such as composites and superlattices for use in thermoelectrics, thermal interface materials and in macroelectronics [1-5]. It has long been known that the thermal and electrical transport properties of isolated nanostructures such as thin films, nanowires and nanotubes often exhibit significant deviations from their bulk counterparts [6-8].

D. journey, it is crystal clear that I couldn’t have finished this thesis without the support I have received during this time. I would like to first thank my advisor and mentor, Prof. Austin J. Minnich for his guidance and endless support. I am grateful for the countless discussions we have had for the last 5 years. I learned a lot about how to do research and how to ask good questions from working with him. I am extremely fortunate that he had given me a lot of scientific freedom and independence and that he allowed me to pursue projects that excite me. Because I am very interested in X-ray sciences and ultrafast phenomena, he allowed me to be away for a year at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University to learn about these topics. For that, I owe a debt of gratitude to my advisor. I am also very fortunate that I was able to tackle scientific questions from several angles from calculations to experiments under his guidance. I have had many enriching experiences at SLAC and Stanford. Due to close interac- tions between SLAC and Stanford researchers, there are many specialized courses regarding X-ray sciences, and I was fortunate to take some of these courses that are directly related to my current Ph.
  • Modes of Heat Transfer What Is Conduction

    Modes of Heat Transfer What Is Conduction

    Modes of Heat Transfer What is Heat? Heat is a form of energy. It makes a substance hotter. We cannot see heat. We can only feel it by the effect of hotness it produces. We can define heat as energy in transit. heat transfer definition :- Since we know that heat is thermal energy in transit. Heat transfer is also referred to as heat. Here thermal energy moves from one place to another by virtue of the difference in temperature. Heat is the energy that is transferred from one body to another due to the temperature difference between the two bodies. With the definition of heat transfer or heat in mind, we now move on to know more about heat transfer. Modes of Heat Transfer There are three modes of heat transfer. Heat transfer or transmission of heat from one place to another takes place by three different ways that are: 1. Conduction 2. Convection and 3. Radiation In solids, heat passes from one point to another through conduction. In Liquids and gases, heat transfer takes place by convection. Heat transfer takes place by the process of radiation when there are no particles of any kind which can move and transfer heat. So, in an empty space or vacuum heat is transferred by radiation. We shall now study heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation in detail. What is conduction If we heat one end of a metal bar by keeping it over a gas burner, we find that its other end also gets hot after some time. So heat is transferred from hot end of the bar to its cold end.
