Usually, the rate of heat transfer is a combination of conduction and convection in a heat exchanger system as illustrated in Fig. 7.1 and only the fluid temperature on either side of the solid surface is known. For steady state, the rate of conduction heat transfer and the rate of convection heat transfer are equal. The total resistance (R) of the combined rate of heat transfer is... 

The Rayleigh criterion can also be written as a function of the Grashof criterion, which compares convective with conductive heat transfer and the Prandtl criterion, which compares the momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) with the thermal diffusivity ... 

The left-hand side of the equation represents the convective heat transfer, the first bracketed term on the right-hand side represents the conductive heat transfer, and the second term represents the viscous energy dissipation owing to friction in the fluid. 

In 2009, at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a number of thermal characterization tests have been carried out at the cell and module level for comparison and evaluation of different rechargeable energy storage systems [25]. Therefore, the author used dedicated instruments such as thermal camera and calorimeters. Instead of usual test profiles as described in the standards, the author applied real driving speed cycle such as the US06. The main parameters that have been considered are the rate of heat development, conduction heat transfer and critical temperatures in a module. 

Viscous dissipation is negligible for resin flows with low Brinkman number (viscous dissipation over conductive heat transfer) and this could be ignored. 

The heat transfer in refractory materials takes place due to conductive heat transfer and radiation. Refractories are heterogeneous and consist of condensed matter (grains), contacts between the grains, and the pores (filled with gas). The heat transfer through the refractory material is a sum of the processes that take place...

The heat-transfer coefficient of most interest is that between the bed and a wall or tube. This heat-transfer coefficient, is made up of three components. To obtain the overall dense bed-to-boiling water heat-transfer coefficient, the additional resistances of the tube wall and inside-tube-waH-to-boiling-water must be added. Generally, the conductive heat transfer from particles to the surface, the convective heat transfer... 

Fundamental models correctly predict that for Group A particles, the conductive heat transfer is much greater than the convective heat transfer. For Group B and D particles, the gas convective heat transfer predominates as the particle surface area decreases. Figure 11 demonstrates how heat transfer varies with pressure and velocity for the different types of particles (23). As superficial velocity increases, there is a sudden jump in the heat-transfer coefficient as gas velocity exceeds and the bed becomes fluidized. 

The most widely used and best known resistance furnaces are iadirect-heat resistance furnaces or electric resistor furnaces. They are categorized by a combination of four factors batch or continuous protective atmosphere or air atmosphere method of heat transfer and operating temperature. The primary method of heat transfer ia an electric furnace is usually a function of the operating temperature range. The three methods of heat transfer are radiation, convection, and conduction. Radiation and convection apply to all of the furnaces described. Conductive heat transfer is limited to special types of furnaces. 

Contact Drying. Contact drying occurs when wet material contacts a warm surface in an indirect-heat dryer (15—18). A sphere resting on a flat heated surface is a simple model. The heat-transfer mechanisms across the gap between the surface and the sphere are conduction and radiation. Conduction heat transfer is calculated, approximately, by recognizing that the effective conductivity of a gas approaches 0, as the gap width approaches 0. The gas is no longer a continuum and the rarified gas effect is accounted for in a formula that also defines the conduction heat-transfer coefficient ... 

Figure 5 shows conduction heat transfer as a function of the projected radius of a 6-mm diameter sphere. Assuming an accommodation coefficient of 0.8, h 0) = 3370 W/(m -K) the average coefficient for the entire sphere is 72 W/(m -K). This variation in heat transfer over the spherical surface causes extreme non-uniformities in local vaporization rates and if contact time is too long, wet spherical surface near the contact point dries. The temperature profile penetrates the sphere and it becomes a continuum to which Fourier s law of nonsteady-state conduction appfies.

Between 1 s and 1 min specific contact time, conduction heat-transfer performance decreases theoretically as the 0.29 power of contact time. This is consistent with empirical data from several forms of indirect-heat dryers which show performance variation as the 0.4 power of rotational speed (21). In agitator-stirred and rotating indirect-heat dryers, specific contact time can be related to rotational speed provided that speed does not affect the physical properties of the material. To describe the mixing efficiency of various devices, the concept of a mixing parameter is employed. An ideal mixer has a parameter of 1. 

Retention of a given solids particle in the system is on the average veiy short, usually no more than a few seconds. This means that any process conducted in a pneumatic system cannot be diffusion-controlled. The reaction must be mainly a surface phenomenon, or the solids particles must be veiy small so that heat transfer and mass transfer from the interiors are essentially instantaneous. 

Slime masses or any biofilm may substantially reduce heat transfer and increase flow resistance. The thermal conductivity of a biofilm and water are identical (Table 6.1). For a 0.004-in. (lOO-pm)-thick biofilm, the thermal conductivity is only about one-fourth as great as for calcium carbonate and only about half that of analcite. In critical cooling applications such as continuous caster molds and blast furnace tuyeres, decreased thermal conductivity may lead to large transient thermal stresses. Such stresses can produce corrosion-fatigue cracking. Increased scaling and disastrous process failures may also occur if heat transfer is materially reduced.
