Heat-conduction

The heat flow density q of a material depends on the local temperature gradient, according to Fourier s law  

In simple one-dimensional cases, it is easy to determine the temperature gradient and calculate the heat flow from Fourier s law. 

The general case is that of steady-state flow, and the thermal conductivity factor is a function of the temperature. In the unsteady state the temperature of the system changes with time, and energy is stored in the system or released from the system reduced. The storage capacity is 

Consider a small control volume V = SxSySz (Fig. 4.27), where the inner heat generation is Q (T) (heat production/volume) and the heat conductivity is A(T). The material is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic, and the internal heat generation and thermal conductivity are functions of temperature. 

The heat flow to the control volume through area 8y8z at at is 

Heat conduction is the transfer of energy between neighbouring molecules in a substance due to a temperature gradient. In metals also the free electrons transfer energy. In solids which do not transmit radiation, heat conduction is the only process for energy transfer. In gases and liquids heat conduction is superimposed by an energy transport due to convection and radiation. 

The mechanism of heat conduction in solids and fluids is difficult to understand theoretically. We do not need to look closely at this theory it is principally used in the calculation of thermal conductivity, a material property. We will limit ourselves to the phenomenological discussion of heat conduction, using the thermodynamic quantities of temperature, heat flow and heat flux, which are sufficient to deal with most technically interesting conduction problems. 

The transport of energy in a conductive material is described by the vector field of heat flux 

In terms of a continuum theory the heat flux vector represents the direction and magnitude of the energy flow at a position indicated by the vector x. ft can also be dependent on time t. The heat flux q is defined in such a way that the heat flow dQ through a surface element d.4 is 

Here n is the unit vector normal (outwards) to the surface, which with q forms the angle / , Fig. 1.1. The heat flow dQ is greatest when q is perpendicular to d.4 making [3 = 0. The dimension of heat flow is energy/time (thermal power), with 

This chapter describes the fundamental principles of heat and mass transfer in gas-solid flows. For most gas-solid flow situations, the temperature inside the solid particle can be approximated to be uniform. The theoretical basis and relevant restrictions of this approximation are briefly presented. The conductive heat transfer due to an elastic collision is introduced. A simple convective heat transfer model, based on the pseudocontinuum assumption for the gas-solid mixture, as well as the limitations of the model applications are discussed. The chapter also describes heat transfer due to radiation of the particulate phase. Specifically, thermal radiation from a single particle, radiation from a particle cloud with multiple scattering effects, and the basic governing equation for general multiparticle radiations are discussed. The discussion of gas phase radiation is, however, excluded because of its complexity, as it is affected by the type of gas components, concentrations, and gas temperatures. Interested readers may refer to Ozisik (1973) for the absorption (or emission) of radiation by gases. The last part of this chapter presents the fundamental principles of mass transfer in gas-solid flows. 

Conductive heat transfer is the dominant mode of intraparticle heat transfer. Under low Reynolds number flow situations, conductive heat transfer is also an important mode for fluid heat transfer. This section analyzes the conductive heat transfer characteristics of a

This section deals with problems involving diffusion and heat conduction. Both diffusion and heat conduction are described by similar forms of equation. Pick s Law for diffusion has already been met in Section 1.2.2 and the similarity of this to Fourier s Law for heat conduction is apparent. 

In diffusional mass transfer, the transfer is always in the direction of decreasing concentration and is proportional to the magnitude of the concentration gradient, the constant of proportionality being the diffusion coefficient for the system. 

The analogy also extends to Newton s equation for momentum transport, where 

For an elementary step reaction, we may relate the flow. /r and the affinity A to the forward Jvf and backward Jtb reaction rates as follows 

If we solve these equations together, we obtain the reaction (velocity) flow 

On the other hand, we have the following linear phenomenological equation for chemical reaction i 

We can compare these linear phenomenological equations with Eq. (3.277) to obtain the phenomenological coefficients 

For an overall reaction with / number of intermediate reactions, the linear phenomenological law is valid, if every elementary reaction satisfies the condition A/RT 1, and the intermediate reactions are fast and hence a steady state is reached.

In order to account for the heat loss through the metallic body of the cone, a heat conduction equation, obtained by the elimination of the convection and source terms in Equation (5.25), should also be incorporated in the governing equations. 

In the Couette flow inside a cone-and-plate viscometer the circumferential velocity at any given radial position is approximately a linear function of the vertical coordinate. Therefore the shear rate corresponding to this component is almost constant. The heat generation term in Equation (5.25) is hence nearly constant. Furthermore, in uniform Couette regime the convection term is also zero and all of the heat transfer is due to conduction. For very large conductivity coefficients the heat conduction will be very fast and the temperature profile will...

Seven isotopes of helium are known Liquid helium (He4) exists in two forms He41 and He411, with a sharp transition point at 2.174K. He41 (above this temperature) is a normal liquid, but He411 (below it) is unlike any other known substance. It expands on cooling its conductivity for heat is enormous and neither its heat conduction nor viscosity obeys normal rules. 

In this section we consider the boundary value problem for model equations of a thermoelastic plate with a vertical crack (see Khludnev, 1996d). The unknown functions in the mathematical model under consideration are such quantities as the temperature 9 and the horizontal and vertical displacements W = (w, w ), w of the mid-surface points of the plate. We use the so-called coupled model of thermoelasticity, which implies in particular that we need to solve simultaneously the equations that describe heat conduction and the deformation of the plate. The presence of the crack leads to the fact that the domain of a solution has a nonsmooth boundary. As before, the main feature of the problem as a whole is the existence of a constraint in the form of an inequality imposed on the crack faces. This constraint provides a mutual nonpenetration of the crack faces ... 

Heatshield thickness and weight requirements are determined using a thermal prediction model based on measured thermophysical properties. The models typically include transient heat conduction, surface ablation, and charring in a heatshield having multiple sublayers such as bond, insulation, and substmcture. These models can then be employed for any specific heating environment to determine material thickness requirements and to identify the lightest heatshield materials. 

As a good first approximation (187), the heat conduction of low density foams through the soHd and gas phases can be expressed as the product of the thermal conductivity of each phase times its volume fraction. Most rigid polymers have thermal conductivities of 0.07-0.28 W/(m-K) and the corresponding conduction through the soHd phase of a 32 kg/m (2 lbs/fT) foam (3 vol %) ranges 0.003-0.009 W/(m-K). In most cellular polymers this value is deterrnined primarily by the density of the foam and the polymer-phase composition. Smaller variations can result from changes in cell stmcture.
