from the book (Reference_Heat Transfer (Cengel) 2nd ed) Flashcards
is the transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of a
substance to the adjacent, less energetic ones as a result of interactions between the particles.
conduction
is the mode of heat transfer between a solid
surface and the adjacent liquid or gas that is in motion, and it involves the
combined effects of conduction and fluid motion.
convection
is the energy
emitted by matter in the form of electromagnetic waves (or photons) as a result of the changes in the electronic configurations of the atoms or molecules.
radiation
the form of energy that
can be transferred from one system to another as a result of temperature difference.
heat
The science that deals with the determination of the rates of such energy transfers is
heat transfer
what law of thermodynamics requires that the rate of
energy transfer into a system be equal to the rate of increase of the energy of
that system
first law or the conservation of energy
law of thermodynamics that requires that heat be transferred in the direction
of decreasing temperature
second law or the state of entropy
The basic requirement for heat transfer is the presence of a
temperature difference
is the driving force for heat
transfer,
temperature difference
the temperature difference per unit length or the rate of change of temperature
temperature gradient
NOTE
The larger the temperature gradient, the higher
the rate of heat transfer.
The heat transfer problems
encountered in practice can be considered in two groups:
(1) rating and
(2) sizing problems.
The forms of energy
related to the molecular structure of a system and the degree of the molecular
activity are referred to as the
microscopic energy
The sum of all microscopic
forms of energy is called the _________ of a system, and is denoted by
U (or u on a unit mass basis).
internal energy
portion of the internal energy of a system associated with the kinetic energy of the molecules is called_______
sensible energy or
sensible heat.
The internal energy associated with the phase of
a system is called ______
latent energy or latent heat.
The internal energy associated with the atomic bonds in
a molecule is called _______
chemical (or bond) energy
