Both diffusion and convection are modes of mass transfer. Typically, large-scale mass transfer is accomplished by convection, and small-scale mass transfer is accomplished by diffusion. Similarly, large-scale heat transfer in the Earth is through convection (mantle convection), and small-scale heat transfer is through heat conduction (e.g., through the lithosphere). To treat the complicated convection pattern and diffusion requires a large computational effort. Some simple problems can be treated analytically.

Film conductances are also often defined for the impedance to thermal conduction when two solid conductors are placed in mechanical contact. A significant contact resistance is often observed when, on a microscopic scale, heat transfer involves an air-gap between the materials. Under such conditions, phonon propagation must be replaced by the kinetic interaction amongst gaseous atoms and then back to phonon heat transfer in the next solid. Fibrous and foam insulation axe effective thermal insulators because of the numerous contact resistances involved in the transfer of heat. 

Regenass [10] reviews a number of uses for heat flow calorimetry, particularly process development. The hydrolysis of acetic anhydride and the isomerization of trimethyl phosphite are used to illustrate how the technique can be used for process development. Kaarlsen and Villadsen [11,12] provide reviews of isothermal reaction calorimeters that have a sample volume of at least 0.1 L and are used to measure the rate of evolution of heat at a constant reaction temperature. Bourne et al. [13] show that the plant-scale heat transfer coefficient can be estimated rapidly and accurately from a few runs in a heat flow calorimeter.

The conversion of n bonds into a bonds is exothermic and leads to enthalpies of polymerization in the approximate range -60 to — lOOkJ moI for the monomers most often used in free-radical polymerizations. Clearly the heat evolved during polymerization must be removed and, although this is not a significant problem on the laboratory scale, heat transfer requirements cannot be ignored when considering large-scale production of latexes.

The most important distinetion between the two types of model is in their application. Microscopic models are of most relevance and applieation to the formulation of composite resins, since they are speeifieally eoncemed with the physieo-ehemical processes which occur in the resin during decomposition and combustion. Conversely, macroscopic fire models are of more relevance to the design and orientation of eomposite components within a larger construction such as building compartments, as they examine variables such as large-scale heat transfer, flame length, and fire spread. 

Currents in the oceans, both surface and deep, are responsible for planetary-scale heat transfer, and thus oceans profoundly impact Earth s climate. The surface currents are driven mainly by wind, with their direction modified by the Coriolis force, which is an inertial force arising from Earth s rotation (see Section 4.3.1 for a detailed discussion). Several of the major oceanic surface currents are shown in Fig. 2.11. These include the well-knovm Gulf Stream, in the Atlantic Ocean, whose heat flux helps warm the climate of northern Europe. 

Cluster/mesoscale To develop a general theory to link the discrete and continuum approaches, so that particle scale heat transfer information, generated from DEM-based simulation, can be quantified in terms of (macroscopic) energy conservation equations, constitutive relations, and boundary conditions that can be implemented in continuum-based process modeling of thermochemical behaviors.
