CHAPTER 1 (BASICS OF HEAT TRANSFER) Flashcards
(90 cards)
is the basic
science that deals with
the rate of transfer of
thermal energy.
Heat Transfer
Heat transfer plays a crucial role in
the _______of vehicles,
power plants,
refrigerators, electronic
devices, buildings,
bridges, etc.
design
a form of energy that can be transferred from one system to
another as a result of temperature difference.
Heat
- science that deals with the determination of the rates of
energy
Heat Transfer
The basic requirement for heat
transfer is the presence of
Temperature Difference
This is when the Heat was defined as the energy associated with the random motion
of atoms and molecules
middle of 19th century
theory proposed by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier (1743–
1794) in 1789.
caloric theory
Caloric theory proposed by
French chemist Antoine Lavoisier
this theory states that heat is a fluid-like substance called the
caloric that is a massless, colorless, odorless, and tasteless substance that
can be poured from one body into another
caloric theory
In 1798, ___________ showed in his
papers that heat can be generated continuously through friction
Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) (1753–1814)
convinced the skeptics that heat was not a substance after all,
and put the caloric theory to rest.
James P. Joules (1843)
are designed primarily on the basis of heat
transfer analysis.
Heat transfer equipment
these are some of heat transfer equipments
1.heat exchangers,
2.boilers,
3.condensers,
4. radiators,
5.heaters,
6.furnaces,
7. refrigerators,
8. solar collectors
The heat transfer problems encountered in practice:
(1)rating and
(2)sizing problems.
deal with the determination of the heat transfer rate for an existing
system at a specified temperature difference.
rating problems
deal with the determination of the size of a system in order to
transfer heat at a specified rate for a specified temperature
difference.
sizing problems
can exist in numerous forms
energy
other forms of energy aside from heat
thermal, mechanical, kinetic, potential, electrical,
magnetic, chemical, nuclear, etc.
sum of all forms of energy of a system.
total energy
forms of energy related to the molecular
structure of a system and the degree of the
molecular activity.
microscopic energy
sum of all microscopic
forms of energy of a system
internal energy (U)
true or false.
We can get energy
from trash and
sewage.
true
SIunit of energy
Joule (J)
English unit of energy
British thermal unit (Btu)
