INTRODUCTION
What is HEAT ?
Heat , also called thermal energy, can
in a simple, intuitive way be viewed as the
internal kinetic energy of a collection of
molecules or atoms.
HEAT TRANSFER
For gases,
The heat is closely to the average velocity of the molecules.
For liquids,
The situation is similar to that of gases.
For solids,
The molecules cannot move freely, the internal kinetic energy is
stored as so-called “PHONONS”, which are the coordinated
movements ( vibrations ) of the atoms about their fixed lattice
position.
There are three modes of heat transfer to consider :

Conduction

Convection

Radiation
Conduction
Conduction refer to heat transfer by diffusion
through solid material or non-moving fluid.
Conduction in solids:
(1) electron conduction
(2) phonons
Thermal Conductivity (W/(m·K))
Convection
Convection refers to heat transfer by the
movement of fluid or gas.

Velocity and temperature profiles in a boundary layer
When a free stream of fluid encounters a heat plate ,
laminar heat transfer from a flat plate with and without an initial cold length.
The thickness of the thermal and mechanical
boundary layers increase with the distance
from the leading edge.
The thermal boundary layer develops only after
the unheated layer.
Radiation
Wien’s displacement law
The wavelength of the maximum of the curve is inversely proportional
to the absolute temperature.
Black body
A body that absorbs all of the radiation is called a black body.

THERMAL STRUCTURES
Important design aspect :

Physical transduction process

Packaging
Positive temperature coefficient ( PTC )
For most common materials, their resistance
increases with temperature raising.
Negative temperature coefficient ( NTC )
Some materials, like carbon and ceramics, the
thermistors decrease with temperature raising.

suspended from the wafer-thick rim by long and narrow cantilever beams.

CONCLUSION
The operation of thermal sensors generally can be described in three steps :
1. First, a non-thermal signal is transduced into a heat flow.
2. Second, the heat flow is converted, within the thermal signal domain, into
a temperature difference.
3. Third, the temperature difference is transduced into an electrical signal with
a temperature sensor.
