ransient onduction Many heat transfer problems are time dependent hanges in operating conditions in a system cause temperature variation with time, as well as location within a solid, until a new steady state (thermal equilibrium) is obtained. In this chapter we will develop procedures for determining the time dependence of the temperature distribution eal problems may include finite and semi-infinite solids, or complex geometries, as well as two and three dimensional conduction olution techniques involve the lumped capacitance method, exact and approximate solutions, and finite difference methods. We will focus on the Lumped apacitance Method, which can be used for solids within which temperature gradients are negligible (ections 5.1-5.2) Lumped apacitance Method onsider a hot metal that is initially at a uniform temperature, i, and at t=0 is quenched by immersion in a cool liquid, of lower temperature he temperature of the solid will decrease for time t>0, due to convection heat transfer at the solid-liquid interface, until it reaches ( x,0) = i x 2
Lumped apacitance Method If the thermal conductivity of the solid is very high, resistance to conduction within the solid will be small compared to resistance to heat transfer between solid and surroundings. emperature gradients within the solid will be negligible, i.e.. the temperature of the solid is spatially uniform at any instant. ( x,0) = i x Lumped apacitance Method tarting from an overall energy balance on the solid: h ( s ) = ρvc d dt he time required for the solid to reach a temperature is: t ρvc θ ln h s θ = i where θ = θ = he temperature of the solid at a specified time t is: θ θ i (5.1) = i h s = exp t ρvc he total energy transfer, Q, occurring up to some time t is: t 0 0 t ( ρvc) θ [ 1 exp( t τ )] Q = q dt = h θ dt = / i i i & = & t out st (5.2) (5.3) 3
ransient emperature esponse Based on eq. (5.2), the temperature difference between solid and fluid decays exponentially. Let s define a thermal time constant 1 τ t = Vc tt h ( ρ ) = s t is the resistance to convection heat transfer, t is the lumped thermal capacitance of the solid Increase in t or t causes solid to respond more slowly and more time will be required to reach thermal equilibrium. Validity of Lumped apacitance Method eed a suitable criterion to determine validity of method. Must relate relative magnitudes of temperature drop in the solid to the temperature difference between surface and fluid. solid (due to conduction) solid / liquid (due to convection) ( L / k) = = (1/ h) cond conv hl = Bi k What should be the relative magnitude of solid versus solid/liquid for the lumped capacitance method to be valid?

Is your assumption reasonable? 5
Other transient problems When the lumped capacitance analysis is not valid, we must solve the partial differential equations analytically or numerically xact and approximate solutions may be used abulated values of coefficients used in the solutions of these equations are available ransient temperature distributions for commonly encountered problems involving semi-infinite solids can be found in the literature LUMD YM LYI Interior temperature of some bodies remains essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process. he temperature of such bodies can be taken to be a function of time only, (t). eat transfer analysis that utilizes this idealization is known as lumped system analysis. small copper ball can be modeled as a lumped system, but a roast beef cannot. 12 6
