Quiz 3 Flashcards
Measure of the amount of energy possessed by the molecules of a substance.
Temperature (T)
Energy in transit. Energy as the result of temperature difference
Heat (Q)
Force acting through a distance
Work
Modes of transferring heat
Conduction and Convection and Radiation
Transfer of heat by the interactions of atoms or molecules.
Conduction
Transfer of heat by the mixing and motion of macroscopic portions of a fluid.
Convection
Example of Convection
Sea and Land Breeze
Transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation
Radiation
Heat transfer per unit area
Heat Flux
Measure of substances ability to transfer heat through solid by conduction
Thermal Conductivity
The thermal conductivity of most liquids and solids varies with ______ ; for vapors, it depends upon ____
Temperature ; Pressure
Sometimes referred as a film coefficient and represents the thermal resistance of a relatively stagnant layer of fluid between a heat transfer surface and the fluid medium.
Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient
Combines the heat transfer coefficient of the two heat exchanger fluids and the thermal conductivity of the heat exchanger tubes.
Overall heat transfer coefficient
For flow adjacent to a hot or cold surface, bulk temperature is the temperature of the fluid that is _______ from the surface.
Far
For boiling or condensation, temp bulk is equal to ______
saturation temperature
