HEAT TRANSFER Flashcards
(43 cards)
measure of the amount of energy possessed by the molecules of a substance
TEMPERATURE (T)
transfer of energy as heat occurs at the molecular level as a result of a temperature difference
HEAT (Q)
transfer of energy resulting from a force acting thru a distance
WORK (W)
heat transfer by the interactions of atoms or molecules of a material
CONDUCTION
heat transfer by the mixing and motion of macroscopic portions of a fluid
CONVECTION
heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation that arises due to the temp. of a body
RADIATION (Radiant Heat Transfer)
heat transfer rate per unit area (Q/A)
HEAT FLUX
measure of a substance’s ability to transfer heat thru a solid by conduction
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
The thermal conductivity of most liquids and solids varies with ______.
TEMPERATURE
Thermal conductivity of vapors depends upon ______.
PRESSURE
average temp. difference
LOG MEAN TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
also called as a film coefficient
CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT
the thermal resistance of a relatively stagnant layer of fluid between a heat transfer surface and the fluid medium
CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT
combines the heat transfer coefficient of the two heat exchanger fluids and the thermal conductivity of the heat exchanger tubes
