Heat transfer is thermal energy in transit due to a temperature
difference.

Convection Example:
A wall has inner and outer surface temperatures of 22 and 10oC
respectively. The interior air temperatures are 26 and 10oC
respectively. The inner and outer convection heat transfer
coefficients are 5 and 20 W/m2.K
Given that the wall is 25cm 50cm , calculate the heat flux and the
heat rate from:
- Interior air to the wall
- Wall to exterior air
Is the wall under steady-state conditions?
Suppose the inner wall temperature remained unchanged, at what
outer wall temperature is steady state reached?
Ans:
-20W/m2, 2.5 W
- 0 W/m2, 0 W
- No
- 11oC
Heat Transfer Rates: Radiation
Heat transfer at a gas/surface interface involves radiation
emission from the surface and may also involve the
absorption of radiation incident from the surroundings
(irradiation from Tsur , G ), as well as convection if Ts T .
Energy outflow due to emission:
E Eb Ts4 (1.5)
E : Emissive power W/m2
: Surface emissivity 0 1
Eb : Emissive power of a blackbody (the perfect emitter)
: Stefan-Boltzmann constant 5.67×10-8 W/m2 K 4

Radiation Example:
Ans:
104oC
Radiation Example:
An un-insulated steam pipe passes through a room in which the air and walls are at 25oC.
The outside diameter of the pipe is 70mm, and its surface temperature and emissivity are
200oC and 0.8
- Calculate the surface emissive power and irradiation
- What is the heat loss from the pipe per unit length (q’) if the heat transfer coeff.
is 15W/m2.K
Ans:
-2270 W/m2, 447 W/m2
- 998W/m
Modes of Mass Transfer
Diffusion Mass Transfer : From Fick’s law (mass transfer analog y to Fourier’s law),
J A CDABxA
Binary diffusion coefficient or mass diffusivity (m2/s)
Convection Mass Transfer : Mass transfer from a flowing fluid to the surface of another
substance, or between two substances depends on the properties of the materials involved
and the concentration difference.
N/A = Kc ΔC
