ABSTRACT
In this chapter we will study the fundamental ways energy can be transported. Figure 2.1 shows how the contents of this chapter relates to the overall subject of energy transfer.
2.1Conductive Heat Transfer
Conductive heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy through a medium from its more energetic particles to the less energetic. The temperature at any location in a
• diffusion• heat flow rate
• conduction• convection
• Fourier’s law• bulk flow
• thermal conductivity• convective heat transfer coefficient
• thermal diffusivity• convection
• heat flux• radiation
