Heat Transfer Test 1

Heat Transfer Test 1 Notes and Quiz

QuestionAnswer
_____ : thermal energy in transit due to a spatial temperature difference. Heat Transfer
____: quantity of matter to be studied System
____: certain amount of matter is the area of interest, energy is transferred across the control surface by work and heat at the system boundary. Closed System (Control Mass)
____: certain volume is the area of interest, energy is transferred across the control surface by work, heat, and mass crossing control surface. Open System (Control Volume)
_____: thermal energy that is converted from another form of energy not included in the analysis. Rate at which energy is generated per unit volume. Heat Generation (qdot)
___: has no volume or mass. Properties of the mass entering the ___ are identical to the properties of the mass exiting ___. Energy cannot be stored or generated in the ___. Control Surface
___: heat transfer rate per unit area. The area in _____ _____ is the area that is perpendicular to the direction that heat transfer is occurring. Heat Flux (q")
____: heat transfer due to molecular motion, energy is transferred from more energetic particles to adjacent less energetic particles. Occurs in solids and fluids. Transfer of energy in a medium do to a temperature gradient. Conduction
____: heat transfer due to a combination of conduction and advection (heat transfer due to bulk fluid motion). Heat transfer occurs between a solid surface and a moving fluid. Convection
____: heat transfer emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves (or photons). Does not require a medium to transfer heat (can occur in a vacuum). Radiation
Fourier's Law was developed from experiments and defines ____ _____. Thermal Conductivity
____: material property that indicates the rate at which energy is transferred by diffusion or a measure of the material's ability to conduct heat. Thermal Conductivity (k)
____: measures the ability of a material to store thermal energy. Heat Capacity (Rho*Cp)
____: ratio of thermal conductivity to heat capacity. Measures the material's ability to conduct heat to its ability to store heat. Used in transient (unsteady) analysis. Thermal Diffusivity (alpha)
The purpose of the heat conduction equation is to determine the ___ _____ in a medium. Temperature Distribution
_____; refers to temperature only varying in one spatial direction and heat is transferred in that direction. 1-D
____: temperature remains constant in time at every location. Steady State
___: heat transfer area (area normal to heat transfer) remains constant in the direction of heat transfer. Planar
Temperature varies _____ with x when 1-D, steady state, conduction in a plane wall with no heat generation and constant properties. Linearly
high thermal conductivity (k) = ___ conductor low thermal conductivity (k) = _____ conductor Good Poor
Small thermal diffusivity (alpha) means that heat is mostly ____ by the material. Absorbed
_____: defined as the ratio of driving potential to corresponding transfer rate. The analogy to circuits can only be used for 1-D heat transfer with no internal heat generation and constant properties. Thermal Resistance (R)
Each distinct thermal pathway may be represented as thermal resistances in _____. Parallel
Resistances in ____ represent the different layers through which heat passes within a given pathway. Series
Conduction Resistance is only for cases that are: ___ ___ and ____. 1-D, Steady State,and Constant Properties.
_____: we conceptualize a "convective layer" that is included as an extra resistance on either side of the wall. This accounts for the heat transfer to/from a solid surface from/to the fluid. Convective Resistance
____: two solid conduction layers do not make perfect contact due to surface roughness which acts as an additional resistance to heat transfer. Contact Resistance (Rtc)
Surface roughness creates a temperature ____ at interface. Drop
To decrease contact resistance, the aim is to decrease gaps or gap sizes by (5 methods): 1. use a soft metallic insert. 2. decrease surface roughness of material. 3. increase interface pressure. 4. use thermal grease. 5. replace air between surface with a more conductive gas.
____: when heat transfer occurs by conduction in one (primary) direction and simultaneously by convection in a perpendicular direction. Extended Surface
___: when an extended surface is attached to a solid body in order to enhance heat transfer between the solid body and the surrounding fluid. Increases heat transfer by increasing surface area. Fin
Heat transfer rate by convection can be increased in 3 ways: 1. increase h by increasing the fluid velocity. 2. decreasing the fluid temperature, Tinfinity. 3. increasing the surface area, As, where convection occurs. (fins use this method)
____: the ratio of fin heat transfer rate to the heat transfer rate that would exist without the fin. Fin Effectiveness (epsilon)
____: the ratio of fin heat transfer rate to the heat transfer rate that would exist if the fin surface temperature was Tb over the entire surface. Fin Efficiency (eta)
The heat transfer from the non-finned portion of the surface must also be considered as an additional resistance in ____, where the area is reduced by the total base area of the fins. Parallel
Conduction is governed by ____ . Fourier's Law
Convection is governed by ____ . Newton's Law of Cooling
Radiation is governed by ____. Stefan-Boltzman Law of Radiation
Explain why using the thermal resistance analogy cannot be used when there is internal (volumetric) heat generation. Heat transfer rate is not constant.
___ conduction occurs when area is a function of position. Non-Planar
