Thermal Conductivity
k is the thermal conductivity of the material undergoing conduction, which is a tensor quantity in the most general case:
– most materials are homogeneous, isotropic, and their structure is time-independent; hence:
which is a scalar and usually assumed to be a constant if evaluated at the average temperature of the material

Total Heat Rate
Total heat rate (q) is found by integrating the heat flux over the appropriate area:
k and T must be known in order to calculate q” from Fourier’s law– k is usually obtained from material property
tables– to find T, another equation is required;
this additional equation is derived by applying the conservation of energy principle to a differential control volume undergoing conduction heat transfer; this yields the general Heat Diffusion (Conduction) Equation

Solving the Heat Diffusion Equation
Choose a coordinate system that best fits the problem geometry.
Identify the independent variables (x,y,z,t), e,g, is it a S-S problem? Is conduction 1-D, 2-D, or 3-D? Justify assumptions.
Determine if k can be treated as constant and if
Write the general heat conduction equation using the chosen coordinates.
Reduce equation to simplest form based upon assumptions.
Write boundary conditions and initial condition (if applicable).
Obtain a general solution for T(x,y,z,t) by some method; if impossible, resort to numerical methods.

Critical Radius Concept
Since the surface areas of cylinders and spheres increase with r, there exist competing heat transfer effects with the addition of insulation under convective boundary conditions (see Example 3.4)
A critical radius (rcr) exists for radial systems, where:
– adding insulation up to this radius will increase heat transfer
– adding insulation beyond this radius will decrease heat transfer
For cylindrical systems, rcr = kins/h
For spherical systems, rcr = 2kins/h

S-S Heat Transfer from Extended Surfaces (i.e., fins)
Consider plane wall exposed to convection where Ts>T:
How could you enhance q ?– increase h– decrease T
– increase As (attach fins)
1/22/05 ME 259 30
Fin Nomenclature
x = longitudinal direction of fin L = fin length (base to tip) Lc = fin length corrected for tip area W = fin width (parallel to base) t = fin thickness at base Af = fin surface area exposed to fluid Ac = fin cross-sectional area, normal to heat flow Ap = fin (side) profile area P = fin perimeter that encompasses Ac
D = pin fin diameter Tb = temperature at base of fin
1/22/05 ME 259 31
1-D Conduction Model for Thin Fins
If L >> t and k/L >> h, then the temperature gradient in the longitudinal direction (x) is much greater than that in the transverse direction (y); therefore
Another way of viewing fin heat transfer is to imagine 1-D conduction with a negative heat generation rate along its length due to convection
