What is heat transfer?
Heat transfer is the energy exchanged between materials (solid/liquid/gas) as a result of a temperature difference.
What are the three main mechanisms of heat transfer?
Conduction, convection, and radiation.
Define thermal conduction.
Thermal conduction is the transfer of energy between objects that are in physical contact, via direct microscopic exchanges of kinetic energy of particles.
Define thermal convection.
Thermal convection is the transfer of energy between an object and its environment due to fluid motion (bulk flow of a gas or liquid).
Define thermal radiation.
Thermal radiation is the transfer of energy by the emission of electromagnetic radiation (photons) through a vacuum or transparent medium.
What is advection in heat transfer?
Advection is the transport mechanism of a fluid from one location to another, moving thermal energy by the physical transfer of a hot or cold object.
What is the second law of thermodynamics in relation to heat transfer?
Spontaneous heat transfer always occurs from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.
What is thermal equilibrium?
Thermal equilibrium is when two systems in contact reach the same temperature and no net heat flows between them.
What is the particle model explanation for conduction?
In conduction, particles with higher kinetic energy (hotter) collide with neighbouring particles, transferring energy through the material without bulk movement.
What is natural convection?
Natural convection is fluid motion caused by buoyancy forces when thermal energy expands the fluid (e.g., a fire plume), influencing its own transfer.
What is forced convection?
Forced convection is when fluid is forced to flow by a pump, fan, or other mechanical means to enhance heat transfer.
What is heat flux?
Heat flux is a quantitative, vectorial representation of heat flow through a surface, measured in W/m².
What is thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat, evaluated primarily in terms of Fourier's law for heat conduction.
What is the difference between heat and temperature?
Heat is thermal energy transferred due to a temperature difference; temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.
What is the unit of heat?
The joule (J) is the unit to quantify energy, work, or the amount of heat.
What is enthalpy?
Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic potential equal to the internal energy (U) plus the product of pressure (P) and volume (V).
What is the heat transfer coefficient?
The heat transfer coefficient is the proportionality between heat flux and the thermodynamic driving force for the flow of heat.
How does sound transfer energy?
Sound transfers energy as mechanical waves (longitudinal waves) through a medium by particle vibrations.
How does light transfer energy?
Light transfers energy as electromagnetic waves (photons) and can travel through a vacuum.
What is evaporative cooling?
Evaporative cooling is heat transfer by phase change (liquid to vapour), where energy is absorbed as latent heat, cooling the remaining liquid.
What is Fourier's law?
Fourier's law states that the heat flux due to conduction is proportional to the negative temperature gradient (q = -k ∇T).
What is the difference between conduction and convection?
Conduction occurs through direct contact without bulk motion; convection involves bulk fluid motion carrying heat.
Can heat transfer occur in a vacuum?
Yes, by thermal radiation, which does not require a medium.
What is the role of density in advection?
In advection, heat flux depends on density (ρ), velocity (v), heat capacity (cp), and temperature difference (ΔT).
