Theoretical Fundamentals of Heat Transfer”
Heat transfer is the process by which heat moves from one body to another due to a temperature difference. In physical terms, heat always flows spontaneously from the hotter body to the cooler one until both reach thermal equilibrium. Heating energy is basically transferred through three modes, and most heating applications involve one or another method described below: Conduction is the mechanism of heat transfer in which thermal energy is transmitted from one point to another through the interaction of atoms or molecules of matter. Generally, energy transfer occurs through…
