Heat transfer

Storyboard

Heat is conducted within a medium up to the interface with another medium. Between the two, heat is transferred based on the temperature difference between the media, the contact surface, and a thermal transfer constant. When one of the media is a gas (e.g., air) or a liquid (e.g., water), the thermal transfer constant depends on the structure of the interface and the flow rate of the gaseous or liquid medium.

Dependence of heat transfer on geometry to the conductor

Image

The primary driver of heat transfer from a medium to a conductor is the difference in temperature. In the medium the indoor temperature ($T_i$), particles have more energy, and when they collide with those in the conductor at ERROR:5212.1, they tend to increase the energy of the latter. This interaction can be represented as follows:



Beyond temperature itself, the heat flow depends on the temperature difference at internal interface ($\Delta T_i$):

$ \Delta T_i = T_i - T_{is} $



Another key factor is the number of atoms whose oscillation amplitude can be increased, which depends on the section ($S$). Lastly, we must consider surface properties, described by the internal transmission coefficient ($\alpha_i$), which corresponds to the relationship between transmitted heat, surface area, temperature difference, and elapsed time:

Calculation of heat transmission to the conductor

Note

In this way, we establish a relationship that allows us to calculate the heat flow rate ($q$) based on the temperature difference at internal interface ($\Delta T_i$), and the internal transmission coefficient ($\alpha_i$):



This can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$ q = \alpha_i \Delta T_i $

Dependence of heat transfer on geometry from the conductor

Quote

The primary driver of heat transfer from a conductor to a medium is the temperature difference. When the outer surface temperature ($T_{es}$), particles have more energy and oscillate with a greater amplitude when interacting with the atoms and molecules of the medium at ERROR:5207.1. This tends to increase the energy of the latter. This interaction can be represented as follows:



Beyond temperature, the heat flow depends on the temperature difference at external interface ($\Delta T_e$).

$ \Delta T_e = T_{es} - T_e $



Another key factor is the number of atoms that can have their oscillation amplitude increased, which depends on the section ($S$). Finally, we must consider surface properties, represented by the external transmission coefficient ($\alpha_e$), which corresponds to the relationship between transmitted heat, surface area, temperature difference, and elapsed time:

Exercise

In this manner, we establish a relationship that enables us to calculate the heat flow rate ($q$) based on the temperature difference at external interface ($\Delta T_e$), and the external transmission coefficient ($\alpha_e$):

Heat transfer to and from the conductor

Equation

The first description of the heat transfer model at the interface between two media was developed by Thomas Graham Balfour [1]. His theory posits that the rate of heat transfer depends on the temperature difference and a specific constant of the interface.

When heat is transferred to the conductor, represented by the heat flow rate ($q$) along with the internal transmission coefficient ($\alpha_i$) and the temperature difference at internal interface ($\Delta T_i$), the relationship is expressed by the following equation:

$ q = \alpha_i \Delta T_i $



In the case where heat passes from the conductor, identified by the heat flow rate ($q$) with the external transmission coefficient ($\alpha_e$) and the temperature difference at external interface ($\Delta T_e$), the relationship is specified as:

$ q = \alpha_e \Delta T_e $

Heat transport

Script

The basic system includes a transfer generated by the temperature difference ($\Delta T$), which consists of the temperature difference at internal interface ($\Delta T_i$), the temperature difference in the conductor ($\Delta T_0$), and the temperature difference at external interface ($\Delta T_e$). Therefore:

$ \Delta T = \Delta T_i + \Delta T_0 + \Delta T_e $



With the heat flow rate ($q$) being responsible for the transfer between the interior and the conductor, using the internal transmission coefficient ($\alpha_i$):

$ q = \alpha_i \Delta T_i $



Conduction involves the thermal conductivity ($\lambda$) and the conductor length ($L$):

$ q = \displaystyle\frac{ \lambda }{ L } \Delta T_0 $



And the transfer from the conductor to the exterior, with the external transmission coefficient ($\alpha_e$), is represented by:

$ q = \alpha_e \Delta T_e $



All this is graphically represented by:

Dependence of the transfer coefficient on the velocity of the medium

Variable

One of the effects of heat transfer from a conductor to an external medium is the heating of the medium near the interface, creating an interference zone in the transmission. This decreases the efficiency of the transfer and tends to form an insulating layer that reduces the flow of energy.

However, this effect can change in the presence of wind. The wind can remove the layer of high-temperature atoms and molecules, enhancing the efficiency of heat transfer. This suggests that the transmission coefficient ($\alpha$) is influenced by the mean speed ($v_m$) [1,2]:



In this context, we model the relationship based on ERROR:9844,0 and a reference factor of the media reference speed ($v_0$).

The mathematical relationship that describes this phenomenon for a gas with the transmission coefficient in gases, dependent on speed ($\alpha_{gv}$), the mean speed ($v_m$), the transmission coefficient in gases, independent of speed ($\alpha_{g0}$), and the transmission coefficient gas velocity factor ($v_{g0}$) is:

$ \alpha_{gv} = \alpha_{g0} \left(1+\displaystyle\frac{ v_m }{ v_{g0} }\right)$



And for a liquid with the transmission coefficient dependent on the speed ($\alpha_{wv}$), the mean speed ($v_m$), the transmission coefficient Independent of the speed ($\alpha_{w0}$), and the factor velocidad del coefiente de transmisión ($v_{w0}$):

$ \alpha_{wv} = \alpha_{w0} \left(1+\sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{ v_m }{ v_{w0} }}\right)$

This illustrates how wind can significantly influence the efficiency of heat transfer between a conductor and an external medium.

Examples

Consider a volume where particles bounce off the walls at a speed representing their temperature. Each time they strike a central grid, they collide with the atoms of a solid, causing them to start oscillating. This oscillation propagates through the solid until it reaches the opposite end, where energy is transferred to the gas through new collisions.

simulation

Experimentation:

You can adjust the speed of the particles in the side boxes and observe how energy is transferred into the solid and then to the gas on the opposite side.

The primary driver of heat transfer from a medium to a conductor is the difference in temperature. In the medium the indoor temperature ($T_i$), particles have more energy, and when they collide with those in the conductor at ERROR:5212.1, they tend to increase the energy of the latter. This interaction can be represented as follows:

In the case of a solid, and similarly for a liquid, we can describe the system as a structure of atoms held together by something that behaves like a spring. When both ends have temperatures of ERROR:10165.1, with the inner surface temperature ($T_{is}$) and the outer surface temperature ($T_{es}$):

kyon

In the process of heat transfer, the temperature gradually decreases from the system with the highest temperature (internal) to the one with the lowest temperature (external). In this process, it first decreases from the internal average temperature to the temperature difference at internal interface ($\Delta T_i$), then to the temperature difference in the conductor ($\Delta T_0$), and finally to the temperature difference at external interface ($\Delta T_e$). The sum of these three variations equals the total drop, that is, the temperature difference ($\Delta T$), as shown below:
