4 Introduction Although heat transfer and temperature are closely related, they are of a different nature. Temperature has only magnitude it is a scalar quantity. Heat transfer has direction as well as magnitude it is a vector quantity. We work with a coordinate system and indicate direction with plus or minus signs.

5 Introduction Continue The driving force for any form of heat transfer is the temperature difference. The larger the temperature difference, the larger the rate of heat transfer. Three prime coordinate systems: rectangular (T(x, ( y, z, t)), cylindrical (T(r, φ, z, t)), spherical (T(r, φ, θ, t)).

6 Introduction Continue Classification of conduction heat transfer problems: steady versus transient heat transfer, multidimensional heat transfer, heat generation.

7 Steady versus Transient Heat Transfer Steady implies no change with time at any point within the medium Transient implies variation with time or time dependence

8 Multidimensional Heat Transfer Heat transfer problems are also classified as being: one-dimensional, two dimensional, three-dimensional. In the most general case, heat transfer through a medium is three-dimensional. However, some problems can be classified as two- or one-dimensional depending di on the relative magnitudes of heat transfer rates in different directions and the level of accuracy desired.

9 The rate of heat conduction through a medium in a specified direction (say, in the x-direction) is expressed by Fourier s law of heat conduction for one-dimensional heat conduction as: dt Q & = ka (W) (-1) cond dx Heat is conducted in the direction of fdecreasing temperature, t and dthus the temperature gradient is negative when heat is conducted in the positive x- direction.

10 General Relation for Fourier s Law of Heat tconduction The heat flux vector at a point P on the surface of the figure must be perpendicular to the surface, and it must point in the direction of decreasing temperature If n is the normal of the isothermal surface at point P, the rate of heat conduction at that t point can be expressed by Fourier s law as dt Qn = ka dn & (-) (W)

12 Examples: Heat Generation electrical energy being converted to heat at a rate of I R, fuel elements of nuclear reactors, exothermic chemical reactions. Heat generation is a volumetric phenomenon. The rate of heat generation units : W/m 3 or Btu/h ft 3. The rate of heat generation in a medium may vary with time as well as position within the medium. The total rate of heat generation in a medium of volume V can be determined from E& gen = e& gendv (W) (-5) V

26 Specified Temperature Boundary Condition For one-dimensional i heat transfer through a plane wall of thickness L, for example, the specified temperature boundary conditions can be expressed as T(0, t) = T 1 T(L, t) = T (-46) The specified temperatures can be constant, which is the case for steady heat conduction, or may vary with time.

27 Specified Heat Flux Boundary Condition The heat flux in the positive x- direction anywhere in the medium, including the boundaries, can be expressed by Fourier slawof of heat conduction as dt Heat flux in the & = k = positive x- dx direction q (-47) The sign of the specified heat flux is determined d by inspection: positive if the heat flux is in the positive direction of the coordinate axis, and negative if it is in the opposite direction.

29 Cylindrical Thermal Symmetry: Spherical Thermal symmetry:

32 Interface Boundary Conditions At the interface the requirements are: (1) two bodies in contact must have the same temperature at the area of contact, () an interface (which is a surface) cannot store any energy, and thus the heat flux on the two sides of an interface must be the same. T A (x 0, t) = T B (x 0, t) and T ( x 0, t A ) T B ( x 0, t ) ka = kb x x (-53) (-54)

33 Generalized Boundary Conditions In general a surface may involve convection, radiation, and specified heat flux simultaneously. The boundary condition in such cases is again obtained from a surface energy balance, expressed as Heat transfer to the surface in all modes = Heat transfer from the surface In all modes

36 Example: Consider a large plane wall of thickness L= 0.4 m, thermal conductivity k=.3 W/m C, and surface area A= 0 m.theleft side of the wall is maintained at a constant temperature of T 1 =80 C while the right side loses heat by convection to the surrounding air at T = 15 C with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 4 W/m C. Assuming constant thermal conductivity and no heat generation in the wall, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the wall, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the wall by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the rate of heat transfer through the wall. k T 1 =80 C A=0 m L=0.4 m T =15 C h=4 W/m.

Analysis (a) Taking the direction normal to the surface of the wall to be the x direction with x = 0 at the left surface, the mathematical formulation of this problem can be expressed as dt 0 dx = T( 0) = T = 80 C k dt ( L ) = h[ T( L) T ] dx 1

38 (b) Integrating the differential equation twice with respect to x yields dt dx = C 1 T( x) = C x+ C 1 x = 0: T( 0) = C 0+ C C = T x = L: kc = h[( C L + C ) T ] C = hc ( T ) ht ( 1 T ) C1 = k + hl k + hl T ( ht T x ) ( 1 ) = k + hl x + T 1 ( 4 W/m C)( 80 15) C = ( 3.

39 (c) The rate of heat conduction through the wall is Q & wall = ka dt dx = kac = (.3 W/m C)(0 m = 6030 W 1 h = ka ( T 1 T k + hl ) (4 W/m C)(80 15) C ) (.3 W/m C) + (4 W/m C)(0.4 m)

40 EXAMPLE: Aspherical container of inner radius r 1 =m, outer radius r =.1 m, and thermal conductivity k = 30 W/m C is filled with iced water at 0 C. The container is gaining heat by convection from the surrounding air at T = 5 C with a heat transfer coefficient i of h = 18 W/m C. Assuming the inner surface temperature of the container to be 0 C, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional i heat conduction throughh the container, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the rate of heat gain to the iced water. k T 1 T h r 1 r

41 Assumptions: 1 Heat conduction is steady and one-dimensional since there is no change with time and there is thermal symmetry about the midpoint.

44 Heat Generation in Solids The quantities of major interest in a medium with heat generation are the surface temperature T s and the maximum temperature T max that occurs in the medium in steady operation.

53 Analysis This insulated plate whose thickness is L is equivalent to one- half of an uninsulated plate whose thickness is L since the midplane of the uninsulated plate can be treated as insulated surface. The highest temperature will occur at the insulated surface while the lowest temperature will occur at the surface which is exposed to the environment. Note that L in the following relations is the full thickness of the given plate since the insulated side represents the center surface of a plate whose thickness is doubled.

54 Variable Thermal Conductivity, k(t) The thermal conductivity of a material, in general, varies with temperature. An average value for the thermal conductivity is commonly used when the variation is mild. This is also common practice for other temperaturedependent properties such as the density and specific heat.

55 Variable Thermal Conductivity for One-Dimensional Cases When the variation of thermal conductivity with temperature k(t) is known, the average value of the thermal conductivity in the temperature range between T 1 and T can be determined from k ave = T T 1 ktdt ( ) T T 1 (-75) The variation in thermal conductivity of a material with can often be approximated as a linear function and expressed as kt ( ) = k(1 + βt ) (-79) β the temperature coefficient of thermal conductivity. 0
