Brief Intro:
1.Heat transfer from one point to another due to temperature difference.2.Its three mechanisms are Conduction, convection, and radiation.3.Conduction takes place in a material or between two materials in contact, convection depends on motion ofmolecules and so motion of mass from one region to another region of space and radiation is theheat transfer between the materials by the electromagnetic waves without any medium between them.CM of Heat Transfer
No actual movement of molecules takes place.Takes place mainly in solid and partially in liquid and gas.(reason > distance between molecules)Metals are good conductor of due to presence of free electrons in it.Steady state = No heat loss by leakage and rate of flow of heat is same throughout the conductor.Non-Steady state = Rate of heat flow varies from point to point. In this case heat loss takes place from body of conductor.
The rate of fall of temperature with distance in the direction of heat flow is called the temperature gradient.Temperature gradient=(θ1- θ2) / L (Where L is the distance between the point with temperature and
Heat Flow
The rate of flow of heat across a cube of side ‘l’ having face of area ‘A’ at different temperature and area depends on
- Area of face of cube
- Temperature difference of opposite faces
- Distances of faces
Q/t =KA(- )/lWhere K is the thermal conductivity of matter of unit w/(mk) whose value depends on nature of conductor.Note: Silver has highest thermal conductivity.
Q/t =KA(- )/lQ/t=( - )/(l/KA)Where Q/t = Rate of flow of heat is called heat current- = Temperature difference is equivalent to potential differencel/KA = R= is called thermal resistance which oppose the flow of heat current.
Series Combination=> = => Req=+Parallel Combination=>(Q/t)=+1/Req =1/ +1/Thermal conductivity of a good conductor by Searle`s Method:K= ms(- -)/(A(- )t)Where, k is thermal conductivity of the rod.
- Ice is packed in saw dust(reason: wood and air are bad conductor or heat)
- Woolen clothes are warm because they have fine pores filled with air. (wool and air are bad conductor of heat)
- Eskimos make double walled houses of the blocks of ice. ( air enclosed between the double wall is …..(good/bad) conductor of heat. Ans = bad)
Convection
Transfer of heat by actual motion of material.
Eg : Hot air furnace, the hot water heating system and flow of blood in the body.
Rate of transfer of heat in convection is directly proportion to the temperature difference between two parts ofthe convective fluid and to the surface area of the fluid exposed.
Heat is transmitted only vertically upward.
∆Q/t=hA∆θ
- Room Ventilation (Warm air moves outside through the ventilators continuously keeping the room cool)
- Trade winds (Convection current of air blows from north east towards the equator, which is called trade wind.)
Radiation
Medium is not needed.Heat transfer in the form of electromagnetic wave of speed 3*Fastest processHeat radiation lies in IR regionInverse square law in Heat RadiationI∝1/Where I=intensity of heat radiation and R = Radius of sphere around the source
When heat falls on a surface, a part of it is absorbed, a part of it is reflected and remaining part is transmitted.
Good reflectors are bad absorbers and vice versa
Body that can absorb the entire heat radiation incident on it.It can also radiate all the wavelengths if heated at high temperature.No known body is perfectly blackbody.A surface coated with lamp black absorbs 96%to 98% of the incident radiation.A black body is perfect radiator.In ferry`s black body small opening acts as the black body radiator.
Total energy of all wavelengths radiated per second per unit area of the body.Its SI unit is W/
The ratio of energy radiated per unit area per unit time of a body and perfectly black body at same temperature.Its value is 1 for perfectly black body and less than 1 for any other bodies.e=EÔ‘
Total amount of heat energy radiated per second per unit area of a perfectly black body is directlyproportional to fourth power of its absolute temperature.E=σWhere E =Energy radiated per unit time per unit areaΣ=5.67* W/( )= Stefan`s Constant
If A is the surface area of the Body thenE=σA or Power (P)=σ
A body of temperature T is placed in an enclosure ofTemperature then,1)If T>, then rate of energy radiated(P)= σ(- )2) If T<, then rate of energy absorbedP= σ( - )
According to this theory, everybody radiates heat radiation at all temperature.But when the body is at absolute zero temperature (-273˚C) it will not radiate any heat energy.
Can be used to determine the temperature of heavenly bodies.At maximum intensity of radiation for blackbody.
