📚 Understanding Heat Transfer
Conduction:
- Fourier's Law: Q = k·A·ΔT/Δx
- Direct Contact: Through material
- Thermal Conductivity: Material property (k)
- Applications: Heat sinks, insulation
Convection:
- Newton's Law: Q = h·A·ΔT
- Fluid Motion: Natural or forced
- Heat Coefficient: Depends on flow
- Applications: HVAC, cooling systems
Radiation:
- Stefan-Boltzmann: Q = ε·σ·A·(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)
- Electromagnetic: No medium needed
- Temperature Dependent: T⁴ relationship
- Applications: Solar heating, furnaces
