Today's lecture Principles of Heat Transfer Heat transfer mechanisms Conduction Heat transfer Thermal resistance concept Contact resistance Thermal networks
Heat transfer Heat is transferred whenever there is a temperature difference
Heat conduction Heat is the kinetic energy of molecules When a molecule with high kinetic energy hit one with low kinetic energy momentum is transferred Heat transfer
Heat convection Besides heat conduction, heat I s also transferred due to the motion of the fluid Convection = Conduction + Advection (fluid motion) Forced convection Due to flow Natural convection Difference in temperature = difference in density
Radiation Heat energy is transferred by photons Everything emits radiation, i.e. inferred radiation
Thermal conductivity The thermal conductivity: k [ W / m C] How much heat (energy) per second, per meter, per degree Celsius there can be transferred I a given material Metals is good heat conductors Gasses are poor heat conductors

Intermezzo Use the next 5 min to discuss how to calculate how much energy you need to heat up this architectural marvel on a winters day. What assumptions do I need to take? What information do I need to find? How should the thermal network look like?
Overall heat transfer coefficient Often we are only interested in one number for the heat transfer resistance. For example a heat exchanger can have a very complex geometry. Only the total resistance can be measured and is given by a U value. Overall heat transfer coefficient: U [W/m 2 C] the heat transfer is found from: [ ] Q = UA T W and it can be seen that: 1 = UA Rtotal

Heat transfer through a hollow cylinder Critical radius of insulation Adding more insulation to a wall always decreases heat transfer. Adding insulation to a cylindrical pipe or a spherical shell, however, is a different matter. Adding insulation increases the conduction resistance of the insulation layer but decreases the convection resistance of the surface because of the increase in the outer surface area for convection. The heat transfer from the pipe may increase or decrease, depending on which effect dominates.
Heat transfer through a hollow cylinder The rate of heat transfer from the insulated pipe to the surrounding air can be expressed as: Q T1 T T1 T = = R ln ( r2 / r ins + Rconv 1) 1 + 2πLk h 2 r L increases with r 2 ( π ) 2 decreases with r 2
Heat transfer through a hollow cylinder The radius of critical insulation is found when: dq dr = Performing the differentiation gives: r 0 k, = (m) h cr cylinder
Example
Thermal contact resistance When two surfaces are pressed against each other, the peaks form good material contact but the valleys form voids filled with air Unfortunately, no empirical formulae exists to properly to predict contact resistances correctly! (material, pressure, surface roughness ) Thermal grease can significant reduce the contact resistance.
