 CONDUCTION
 Pop corn cooked with oil in a pan
 Oil conducts heat
 CONVECTION
 Pop corn cooked in a popper
 Air transfers heat
 RADIATION
 Pop corn cooked in a micro-wave oven
 Microwaves break down the bonds
Method Conduction Convection Radiation

Grilling Moderate Moderate High

Microwaving Low Low High

 PERSPIRATION
 Ambient temp > body temp
 Evaporation occurs
 Cooling effect of perspiration is due to large heat
of vaporization of water
 Heat of vaporization = 580 cal/g
 CONDUCTION
 CONVECTION
 Heat transfer medium: air surrounding the body

 Air motion will remove heat from the skin

 Increase of heat transfer to the air

 Lossdue to convection calculated by correlating

with loss due to conduction

 Conductionand convection together are not

adequate for cooling
 RADIATION
 Cold blooded animals come out in summer
 Therefore, there are more of insects and reptiles
in the equatorial region
 Elephant ears act like giant radiators to transfer
heat out of their bodies.
 When fans rotate in forward direction
 Itblows the cool air down
 Can be used in summer
 When fans rotate in the reverse direction
 Makes hot air rise and gently mixes the air
 Can be used during winter
 Hair is partially wetted
 Oil applied is the conducting medium
 A metal pressing comb is heated to 300-500oF
 The high temperature breaks down the
biochemical disulphide bonds between the
keratin proteins
 As the hair cools, the broken bonds are fixed
in the required shape
 This reformation of the bonds holds the hair
in its new, straightened shape
 A coil of wire is placed beneath the cooking
surface
 A large ac current is made to flow through
the wire
 Hence an oscillating magnetic filed is set up
 This field induces an electric field when a
metal is brought into contact
 The eddy resistance in the metal is
converted to heat
 Coolant is pumped through radiators
 The radiator transfers the heat from the fluid
inside to the air outside, thereby cooling the
engine
 Air cooled engines use the air blowing past
the engine
 But long stationary periods may cause over-
heating
 Air cooled bikes are cheaper, simpler and
lighter than their water-cooled counterparts
 Cold water remains at the bottom of the tank as
it is denser than hot water
 When you first put the water in the coffee
maker, the heating element heats it.
 Once the coffee is made, the heating
element keeps the coffee warm.
 Clay is a mixture of mud and water
 The wet clay pot is heated so that all the
moisture in the wet clay is taken out
completely
 The whole material is purely porous with
very fine holes all over
 When you pour water of any temperature
more than the room temperature into the
pot, the water first spreads itself on to the
walls of the pot
 Due to the internal pressure of water, the water
is forced to contact to the pot inner walls. So the
water molecules start filling the air gaps of the
pot
 In this condition, due to the very fine holes, the
water molecules lose their contact and forms in
to separate groups of water particles
 Since the water volume is very less, it tends to
go away from the pothole, and for that is has to
be converted in to vapor state. But the
temperature of the water is not enough to
change its state from liquid to gaseous
