CHAPTER 7 Heat Transfer

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, the student will be able:

To understand the different modes of heat transfer
To describe the concepts of heat transfer through wall, hollow cylinder, and hollow sphere
To apply the concept of heat transfer in the different engineering applications

7.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter deals with different modes of heat transfer, which are usually classified as conduction, convection, and radiation. From the second law of thermodynamics, we know that the heat flows whenever there is existence of temperature difference or temperature gradient. Heat is a form of energy which is transferred from one body to another body at a lower temperature, by virtue of the temperature difference ...
