In this chapter, the basics of heat transfer are introduced and
discussed. The science of thermodynamics deals with the
amount of heat transfer asa system undergoes a process from
‘one equilibrium state o another, whereas the science of heat
transfer deals with the rate of heat transfer, which isthe main
‘quantity of interest inthe design and evaluation of heat transfer
‘equipment, The sum of al forms of energy of a systems called
total energy, and it includes the internal, kinetic, and potential
‘energies. The internal energy represents the molecular energy
‘ofa system, and it consists of sensible, latent, chemical, and
nuclear forms, The sensible and latent forms of internal energy
‘can be transfered from one medium to another asa result of &
temperature difference, and are refered to a heat or thermal
‘energy. Thus, heat transfers the exchange of the sensible und
Tntent forms of internal energy between two mediums as 2 re-
sult ofa temperature difference. The amount of heat transferred
per unit time is called heat transfer rate and is denoted by 0.
‘The rate of heat transfer per unit area is called heat flux,
‘Assystem of fixed mass is called a closed system and a sys-
tem that involves mass transfer aeross is houndaries is called
an open system or control volume. The first law of thermody
‘namics of the energy balance for any system undergoing any
process can be expressed as

less energetic ones a a result of interactions between the part

In this chapter we have studied the heat conduction equation
tnd its solutions. Heat conduction in a medium is sid to be
steady when the temperate does nt vary with Gime and
‘steady or transient when it des. Heat conduction ina medium
is sid tobe one-dimensional when conduction is significant
in one dimension only and negligible in the other two di
‘mensions Its sti o be rwo-dimensional when conduction in
the third dimension is negligible and thre-dimensional whe,
conduction in all dimensions is significant. In heat transfer
tnalysis, the conversion of electrical, chemical, or nuclear
‘energy into heat (or thermal) energy i characterized as heat
generation.

tan energy balance on a differential volume elemeat. The one
