CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department IIT Delhi A Controllable Characteristic of fluids…… Introduction • Convection involves the transfer of heat by the motion and mixing of "macroscopic" portions of a fluid (that is, the flow of a fluid past a solid boundary). • The term natural convection is used if this motion and mixing is caused by density variations resulting from temperature differences within the fluid. • The term forced convection is used if this motion and mixing is caused by an outside force, such as a pump. • Heat transfer by convection is more difficult to analyze than heat transfer by conduction because no single property of the heat transfer medium, such as thermal conductivity, can be defined to describe the mechanism. • Heat transfer by convection varies from situation to situation (upon the fluid flow conditions), and it is frequently coupled with the mode of fluid flow. • In practice, analysis of heat transfer by convection is treated empirically (by direct observation). • Convection heat transfer is treated empirically because of the factors that affect the stagnant film thickness: • Fluid velocity • Fluid viscosity • Heat flux • Surface roughness • Type of flow (single-phase/two-phase) • Convection involves the transfer of heat between a surface at a given temperature (Ts) and fluid at a bulk temperature (Tb). • The exact definition of the bulk temperature (Tb) varies depending on the details of the situation. • For flow adjacent to a hot or cold surface, Tb is the temperature of the fluid "far" from the surface. • For boiling or condensation, Tb is the saturation temperature of the fluid. For flow in a pipe, Tb is the average temperature measured at a particular cross-section of the pipe. • Newton’s law of cooling suggests a basic relationship for heat transfer by convection: Q hATs Tb h is called as Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient, W/m2K Realization of Newton’s Law Cooling • A general heat transfer surface may not be isothermal !?! • Fluid temperature will vary from inlet to exit !?!?! • The local velocity of flow will also vary from inlet to exit ?!?! • How to use Newton’s Law in a Real life?
