  2. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and transfer of energy by phase changes. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species (mass transfer in the form of advection), either cold or hot, to achieve heat transfer. While these mechanisms ...

  4. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    Conduction heat flux q k for ideal gas is derived with the gas kinetic theory or the Boltzmann transport equations, and the thermal conductivity is =, -, where u f 2 1/2 is the RMS (root mean square) thermal velocity (3k B T/m from the MB distribution function, m: atomic mass) and τ f-f is the relaxation time (or intercollision time period ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    It quantifies how effectively a material can resist the transfer of heat through conduction, convection, and radiation. It has the units square metre kelvins per watt (m 2 ⋅K/W) in SI units or square foot degree Fahrenheit–hours per British thermal unit (ft 2 ⋅°F⋅h/Btu) in imperial units. The higher the thermal insulance, the better a ...

  6. Conjugate convective heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_Convective_Heat...

    The contemporary conjugate convective heat transfer model was developed after computers came into wide use in order to substitute the empirical relation of proportionality of heat flux to temperature difference with heat transfer coefficient which was the only tool in theoretical heat convection since the times of Newton. This model, based on a ...

  7. Thermal fluids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_fluids

    Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase-change transfer. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species, either cold or hot, to achieve heat transfer. Sections include : Energy transfer by heat, work and mass

  8. Transfer of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_energy

    Heat transfer, the exchange of thermal energy via conduction, convection and radiation; Collision, an event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other over a relatively short time; Wireless power transfer, the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load, without the use of man-made conductors

  9. Convection (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

    In many real-life applications (e.g. heat losses at solar central receivers or cooling of photovoltaic panels), natural and forced convection occur at the same time (mixed convection). [4] Internal and external flow can also classify convection. Internal flow occurs when a fluid is enclosed by a solid boundary such as when flowing through a pipe.
