In the region ou tside the boundary layer, where the fluid may be assumed to have no viscosity, the mathematical solution takes on the form known as potential flow. This flow is analogous to the flow of heat in a temperature field or to the flow of charge in an electrostatic field. The basic equations of heat conduction (Fourier s law) are...

Rate of Heat Transfer. Fourier s Law may be integrated and solved for a number of geometries to relate the rate of heat transfer by conduction to the temperature driving force. Equations are given below that allow the calculation of steady-state heat flux and temperature profiles for a number of geometries. 

Next, consider the Nusselt number. The convective heat transfer from a surface will depend on the magnitude of h(Tw - T/). Also, if there was no flow, i.e., if the heat transfer was purely by conduction, Fourier s law indicates that the quantity k(Tw - Tf)U would be a measure of the heat transfer rate. Now, the Nusselt number can be written as ... 

As long as the system remains close to equilibrium and the fluxes are independent, the fluxes are treated as proportional to the driving forces. Experience (Table 4.17) commends this view for diffusion [Pick s law, Eq. (4.16)], conduction [Ohm s law, Eq. (4.130)], and heat flow (Fourier s law). Thus, the independent flux of an ionic species 1 given by the Nernst-Planck equation (4.231) is written...

Here the proportionality constant icditf >s Ihc diffusion coefficient of the medium, which is a measure of how fast a commodity diffuses in (he medium, and the negative sign is to make the flow in the positive direction a positive quantity (note that dOdx is a negative quantity since concentration decreases in the flow direction). You may recall that Fourier s law of heat conduction. Ohm s law of electrical conduction, and Newton s law of viscosity are all in tlie form of Eq. 14-1. 

Kinetic theory is introduced and developed as the initial step toward understanding microscopic transport phenomena. It is used to develop relations for the thermal conductivity which are compared to experimental measurements for a variety of solids. Next, it is shown that if the time- or length scale of the phenomena are on the order of those for scattering, kinetic theory cannot be used but instead Boltzmann transport theory should be used. It was shown that the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is fundamental since it forms the basis for a vast variety of transport laws such as the Fourier law of heat conduction, Ohm s law of electrical conduction, and hyperbolic heat conduction equation. In addition, for an ensemble of particles for which the particle number is conserved, such as in molecules, electrons, holes, and so forth, the BTE forms the basis for mass, momentum, and energy conservation equa-... 

You are likely already familiar with many of the simple direct force/flux pair relationships that are used to describe mass, charge, and heat transport—they include Pick s first law (diffusion). Ohm s law (electrical conduction), Fourier s law (heat conduction), and Poiseuille s law (convection). These transport processes are summarized in Table 4.1 using molar flux quantities. As this table demonstrates. Pick s first law of diffusion is really nothing more than a simplification of Equation 4.7 for... 

In this alternative method of heat measurement, which is also indirect, a measured temperature difference is used to calculate the amount of heat exchanged. A distinction can be made between temporal and spatial temperature-difference measurements. In temporal temperature-difference measurement the temperature of a calorimeter substance is measured before and after a process, and a corresponding heat is calculated on the basis of Equation (1) (which presupposes an accurate knowledge of the heat capacity). In the spatial method a temperature difference between two points within the calorimeter (or between the calorimeter substance and the surroundings) is the quantity of interest. The basis for interpretation in this case is from Fourier s law the equation for stationary heat conduction (Newton s law of cooling) ...

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. 

Thermal conductivity describes the ease with which conductive heat can flow through a vapor, hquid, or sohd layer of a substance. It is defined as the proportionahty constant in Fourier s law of heat conduction in units of energy length/time area temperature e.g., W/m K.

Conduction takes place at a solid, liquid, or vapor boundary through the collisions of molecules, without mass transfer taking place. The process of heat conduction is analogous to that of electrical conduction, and similar concepts and calculation methods apply. The thermal conductivity of matter is a physical property and is its ability to conduct heat. Thermal conduction is a function of both the temperature and the properties of the material. The system is often considered as being homogeneous, and the thermal conductivity is considered constant. Thermal conductivity, A, W m, is defined using Fourier s law. 

A simple case of heat conduction is a plate of finite thickness but infinite in other directions. If the temperature is constant around the plate, the material is assumed to have a constant thermal conductivity. In this case the linear temperature distribution and the heat flow through the plate is easy to determine from Fourier s law (Eq. (4.154)). 

The relationship between the diffusional flux, i.e., the molar flow rate per unit area, and concentration gradient was first postulated by Pick [116], based upon analogy to heat conduction Fourier [121] and electrical conduction (Ohm), and later extended using a number of different approaches, including irreversible thermodynamics [92] and kinetic theory [162], Pick s law states that the diffusion flux is proportional to the concentration gradient through... 

The constant of proportionality k is known as the thermal conductivity of the material and the above relationship is known as Fourier s law for conduction in one dimension. The thermal conductivity k is the heat flux which results from unit temperature gradient in unit distance. In s.i. units the thermal conductivity, k, is expressed in Wm"1 K. Integration of Fourier s law yields...
