Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion,and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems. How do you connect it with thermodynamics and why is it necessary for us, mechanical engineers, to study it?
Water is entering a heated tube at mass ow rate of 1.2 kg/s. The temperature at the inlet is
20 C and at the outlet is 80 C. Assume the surface temperature of the tube is 100 C. The convection
coe cient of the water ow is 28 W=m2 C. The speci c heat and density of water can be assumed to
be 4180 J=kg C and 990 kg=m3. What is the rate of heat transfer to water during this proces
How does the rate of heat transfer by conduction change when all spatial dimensions are doubled?
