In thermal engineering, Heisler charts are a graphical analysis tool for the evaluation of heat transfer in transient, one-dimensional conduction. [1] They are a set of two charts per included geometry introduced in 1947 by M. P. Heisler [2] which were supplemented by a third chart per geometry in 1961 by H. Gröber.
The heat transfer coefficient is often calculated from the Nusselt number (a dimensionless number). There are also online calculators available specifically for Heat-transfer fluid applications. Experimental assessment of the heat transfer coefficient poses some challenges especially when small fluxes are to be measured (e.g. < 0.2 W/cm 2). [1] [2]
In physics and engineering, heat flux or thermal flux, sometimes also referred to as heat flux density [1], heat-flow density or heat-flow rate intensity, is a flow of energy per unit area per unit time. Its SI units are watts per square metre (W/m 2). It has both a direction and a magnitude, and so it is a vector quantity.
Taking water with a bulk fluid average temperature of 20 °C (68 °F), viscosity 10.07 × 10 −4 Pa.s and a heat transfer surface temperature of 40 °C (104 °F) (viscosity 6.96 × 10 −4 Pa.s, a viscosity correction factor for (/) can be obtained as 1.45. This increases to 3.57 with a heat transfer surface temperature of 100 °C (212 °F ...
The Fay-Riddell equation is a fundamental relation in the fields of aerospace engineering and hypersonic flow, which provides a method to estimate the stagnation point heat transfer rate on a blunt body moving at hypersonic speeds in dissociated air. [1] The heat flux for a spherical nose is computed according to quantities at the wall and the ...
The heat equation is also widely used in image analysis (Perona & Malik 1990) and in machine learning as the driving theory behind scale-space or graph Laplacian methods. The heat equation can be efficiently solved numerically using the implicit Crank–Nicolson method of (Crank & Nicolson 1947).
This is only achievable when the prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed wall heat flux (WHF) are considered. It can be concluded that buoyancy parameter has a negligible positive effect on the local Nusselt number. This is only true when the magnitude of Prandtl number is small or prescribed wall heat flux (WHF) is considered.
As noted, a Biot number smaller than about 0.1 shows that the conduction resistance inside a body is much smaller than heat convection at the surface, so that temperature gradients are negligible inside of the body. In this case, the lumped-capacitance model of transient heat transfer can be used. (A Biot number less than 0.1 generally ...
