1/22/05 ME 259 ME 259Heat TransferLecture Slides I Dr. Gregory A. Kallio Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering Manufacturing Technology California State University, Chico Introduction Reading: Incropera DeWitt Chapter 1 Heat Transfer as a Course Has a “reputation” for being one of the most challenging courses in ME Why?? Physically diverse: thermodynamics, material science, diffusion theory, fluid mechanics, radiation theory Higher-level math: vector calculus, ODEs, PDEs, numerical methods Physically elusive: heat is invisible; developing intuition takes time Appropriate assumptions: required to simplify and solve most problems However, Heat Transfer is interesting, fun, and readily applicable to the real world Relevance of Heat Transfer Electric Power Generation Alternate Energy Systems Combustion/Propulsion Systems Building Design Heating Cooling Systems Domestic Appliances Materials/Food Processing Electronics Cooling Packaging Cryogenics Environmental Processes Space Vehicle Systems Definition of Heat Transfer Flow of energy due solely to a temperature difference all other forms of energy transfer are categorized as work from 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, heat flows in direction of decreasing temperature heat energy can be transported through a solid, liquid, gas, or vacuum Heat Quantities Relationship Between the Study of Heat Transfer Thermodynamics 1st Law of Thermodynamics for Closed System: Thermodynamics - allows calculation of total heat transferred (Q) during a process in which system goes from one equilibrium state to another (i.e., the “big picture”) Heat Transfer - provides important physical laws that allow calculation of instantaneous heat rate, length of time required for process to occur, and temperature distribution within material at any time (i.e., the “details” required for design) Heat Transfer Modes Conduction transfer of heat due to random molecular or atomic motion within a material (aka diffusion) most import
