Presentation Transcript

  1. The four horsemen of heat transfer • Contents: • Conduction • Convection • Evaporation • Radiation

  2. Conduction Heat transfer by contact Random wiggling Hot to cold Flow rate T, A, material, 1/thickness Simulation Insulation prevents conduction Down/Synthetics Thickness Demo – Ice Melter blocks. Start the radiation demo. TOC

  3. Convection Heat carried away by moving fluid Much faster than conduction Surface layers Examples: Sauna/cold lake Car radiator Cooling fans on computers Wind chill Firestorms Windbreakers slow down convection Demo – Heat Sinks and smoke box with candle TOC

  4. Whee! Evaporation Heat transfer by phase change Cooling process Examples Cooling towers @ PSU Sweat Poly layers keep skin dry Cotton = death If you always lose the fastest… TOC

  5. Radiation Hot objects radiate photons (black body radiation) Heating up a poker Bonfire/barn fire/stoves The sun Frost Silver lined blankets/bags reflect radiation back to you Demo – check temperatures on radiation demo TOC
