The dependence of natural convection heat transfer on the aforementioned parameters can be established based on the physics of the process. Let us assume that a vertical wall is in contact with a fluid. The wall temperature Tw is higher than the fluid temperature T. When a unit volume of fluid contacts the hot wall, the fluid receives energy from the wall due to molecular collisions. The fluid molecules begin to move with a higher velocity. The initial fluid volume expands. From this description one can conclude that energy transfer should depend on the parameters T, Tw, P, and cp. 

Different pathways of vibrational relaxation of diatoms in thermal collisions with atoms are discussed in the framework of the Ehrenfest adiabatic principle and generalized Landau-Teller model. Since the efficiency of different energy-transfer channels depend very strongly on the value of the Ehrenfest exponent, it is possible to assign, for given collision partners and the heat-bath temperature, the vibrational energy transfer events to VT, VRT or VR processes.

Figure 1.4. Temperature dependence of the change in Gihhs energy, enthalpy and entropy upon transfer of ethane and butane from the gas phase to water. The data refer to transfer from the vapour phase at 0.101 MPa to a hypothetical solution of unit mole fraction and are taken from ref. 125.

The sticking coefficient at zero coverage, Sq T), contains the dynamic information about the energy transfer from the adsorbing particle to the sohd which gives rise to its temperature dependence, for instance, an exponential Boltzmann factor for activated adsorption. 

Wlien a temperature difference exists in or across a body, an energy transfer occurs from the high-tem-perature region to the low-temperature region. This heat transfer, q, which can occur in gases, liquids, and solids, depends on a change m temperature, AT, over a distance. Ax (i.e., AT/z)ix) and a positive constant, k, which is called the thermal conductivity of the material. In equation form, the rate of conductive heat transfer per unit area is written as... 

Convective heat transfer occurs when a fluid (gas or liquid) is in contact with a body at a different temperature. As a simple example, consider that you are swimming in water at 21°C (70°F), you observe that your body feels cooler than it would if you were in still air at 21°C (70°F). Also, you have observed that you feel cooler in your automobile when the air-conditioner vent is blowing directly at you than when the air stream is directed away from you. Both ot these observations are directly related to convective heat transfer, and we might hypothesize that the rate of energy loss from our body due to this mode of heat transfer is dependent on not only the temperature difference but also the typie of surrounding fluid and the velocity of the fluid. We can thus define the unit heat transfer for convection, q/A, as follows ... 

Similarly, heat is not a state function. The energy transferred as heat during a change in the state of a system depends on how the change is brought about. For example, suppose we want to raise the temperature of 100 g of water from 25°C to 30°C. One way to raise the temperature would be to supply energy as heat by...
