Conduction is the process whereby heat is transferred directly through a material, any bulk motion of the
material playing no role in the transfer.
Those materials that conduct heat well are called thermal conductors, while those that conduct heat poorly
are known as thermal insulators.
Most metals are excellent thermal conductors, while wood, glass, and most plastics are common thermal
insulators.
The free electrons in metals are responsible for the excellent thermal conductivity of metals.

The convection heat transfer coefficient between a surface at 50oC and ambient air at 30oC is 20 W/m2.K. Calculate the heat flux leaving the surface by convection.

Solution:
Heated surface at Tsurface = 50oC
Flowing fluid at Tfluid = 30oC

Air at 300°C flows over a flat plate of dimensions 0.50 m by 0.25 m. If the convection heat transfer coefficient is 250 W/m2.K, determine the heat transfer rate from the air to one side of the plate when the plate is maintained at 40°C.
Example 5
Solution:
h = 250 W/m2.K
A = 0.50x0.25 m2
Q.
conv.= h A (Tsurface – Tfluid)
= 250 W/m2.K x 0.125 m2
x (40 - 300)oC
= - 8125 W/m2
Heat is transferred from the air to the plate.
Use Newton’s Law of cooling :
Heated surface at Tsurface = 40oC
Flowing fluid at Tfluid = 300oC
R. Shanthini 17 May 2010
27
Forced Convection
In forced convection over external surface:Tfluid = the free stream temperature (T∞), or a
temperature far removed from the surface
In forced convection through a tube or channel:Tfluid = the bulk temperature
In forced convection, a fluid is forced by external forces such as fans.
R. Shanthini 17 May 2010
28
Free ConvectionIn free convection, a fluid is circulated due to buoyancy effects, in which less dense fluid near the heated surface rises and thereby setting up convection.
In free (or partially forced) convection over external surface:
Tfluid = (Tsurface + Tfree stream) / 2
In free or forced convection through a tube or channel:
Tfluid = (Tinlet + Toutlet) / 2

Change-of-phase convection is observed with boiling or condensation. It is a very complicated mechanism and therefore will not be covered in this course.

Steam at 120oC flows in an insulated pipe. The pipe is mild steel (k = 45 W/m K) and has an inside radius of 5 cm and an outside radius of 5.5 cm. The pipe is covered with a 2.5 cm layer of 85% magnesia (k = 0.07 W/m K). The inside heat transfer coefficient (hi) is 85 W/m2 K, and the outside coefficient (ho) is 12.5 W/m2 K.

Radiation Radiation is the process in which energy is transferred by means of electromagnetic waves of wavelength band between 0.1 and 100 micrometers solely as a result of the temperature of a surface.
Heat transfer by radiation can take place through vacuum. This is because electromagnetic waves can propagate through empty space.
R. Shanthini 17 May 2010

ε = emissivity, which takes a value between 0 (for an ideal reflector) and 1 (for a black body).

Example 8 continued
Note that 547 W of heat loss from the surface occurs at the instant the surface is placed in the chamber. That is, when the surface is at 150oC and the chamber wall is at 25oC.
With increasing time, the surface would cool due to the heat loss. Therefore its temperature, as well as the heat loss, would decrease with increasing time.
Steady-state conditions would eventually be achieved when the temperature of the surface reached that of the surroundings.

Under steady state operation, a 50 W incandescent light bulb has a surface temperature of 135°C when the room air is at a temperature of 25°C.

An exhaust pipe, 75 mm outside diameter, is cooled by surrounding it by an annular space containing water.
The hot gases enters the exhaust pipe at 350oC, gas flow rate being 200 kg/h, mean specific heat capacity at constant pressure 1.13 kJ/kg K, and comes out at 100oC.

Example of batch heating by direct steam sparging:
A fermentor containing 40 m3 medium at 25oC is going to be sterilized by direct injection of saturated steam. The steam at 350 kPa absolute pressure is injected with a flow rate of 5000 kg/hr, which will be stopped when the medium temperature reaches 122oC. Determine the time taken to heat the medium.
Additional data: The enthalpy of saturated steam at 350 kPa and water at 25oC are 2732 and 105 kJ/kg, respectively. The heat capacity and density of the medium are 4.187 kJ/kg.K and 1000 kg/m3, respectively.
Solution:
= (M + ms t) c (T – T0)ms t H. .
Use the equation below:
R. Shanthini 17 May 2010

(5000 kg/hr) (th) (2732-105) kJ/kg
= [(40 m3)(1000 kg/m3) + (5000 kg/hr)(th)](4.187 kJ/kg.K)(122-25)K
(5000 th) (2627) kJ = [40000 + 5000 t](4.187)(97)kJ
Taking the heating time (th) to be in hr, we get
(5000 th) [2627 – 4.187 x 97] = 40000 x 4.187 x 97
th = 1.463 hr
= (M + ms t) c (T – T0)ms t H. .
Therefore, the time taken to heat the medium is 1.463 hours.

Example of batch heating with isothermal heat source:
A fermentor containing 40 m3 medium at 25oC is going to be sterilized by an isothermal heat source, which is saturated steam at 350 kPa absolute pressure. Heating will be stopped when the medium temperature reaches 122oC. Determine the time taken to heat the medium.
Additional data: The saturated temperature of steam at 350 kPa is 138.9oC. The heat capacity and density of the medium are 4.187 kJ/kg.K and 1000 kg/m3, respectively.
Solution:
Use the equation below:
U A t = M c lnT0 - TH ( ) T - TH
R. Shanthini 17 May 2010
71
U A t = M c lnT0 - TH ( ) T - TH
Taking the heating time (th) to be in hr, we get
(2500 kJ/hr.m2.K) (40 m2) (tc)
= (40 m3) (1000 kg/m3) (4.187 kJ/kg.K) ln[(25-138.9)/(122-138.9)]
(2500 kJ/K) (40) (th) = (40) (1000) (4.187 kJ/K) ln[113.9/16.9]
(2500 kJ/K) (40) (th) = (40) (1000) (4.187 kJ/K) (1.908)
th = 3.1955 hr
Therefore, the time taken to heat the medium is 3.1955 hours.

Explain why heating with isothermal heat source takes twice the time taken by heating with steam sparging, even though we used the same steam.

A steel pipeline (inside diameter = 52.50 mm; outside diameter = 60.32 mm) contains saturated steam at 121.1oC. The line is insulated with 25.4 mm of asbestos. Assume that the inside surface temperature of the metal wall is at 121.1oC and the outer surface of the insulation is at 26.7oC. Taking the average value of ksteel as 45 W/m.K and that of
kasbestos as 0.182 W/m.K, calculate the following:
(a) Heat loss for 30.5 m of pipe length. [10 marks]
(b) Mass (in kg) of steam condensed per hour in the pipe due to the heat loss. [10 marks]

Increasing r decreases convective resistance and increases heat transfer.
Increasing r increases insulation resistance and decreases heat transfer.

Critical Radius of Insulation

which leads to rcr = kI / hair
If the outer radius of the pipe (ro) < rcr and if insulation is added to the pipe, heat losses will first
increase and go through a maximum at the insulation radius of rcr and then decrease.

If the outer radius of the pipe (ro) > rcr and if insulation is added to the pipe, heat losses will
continue to decrease.
