Convection and Radiation

• Similarity• Both are surface phenomena• Therefore, can often be combined

• Difference• Convection requires a fluid, radiation does not• Radiation tends to be very important for large

temperature differences• Convection tends to be important for fluid flow

Forced Convection

• Transfer of energy by means of large scale fluid motion

In the following text:

V = velocity (m/s, ft/min) Q = heat transfer rate (W, Btu/hr)

ν = kinematic viscosity = µ/ρ (m2/s, ft2/min) A = area (m2, ft2)

D = tube diameter (m, ft) T = temperature (°C, °F)

µ = dynamic viscosity ( kg/m/s, lbm/ft/min) α = thermal diffusivity (m2/s, ft2/min)

cp = specific heat (J/kg/°C, Btu/lbm/°F)

k = thermal conductivity (W/m/K, Btu/hr/ft/K)

h = convection or radiation heat transfer coefficient (W/m2/K, Btu/hr/ft2/F)

Dimensionless Parameters

• Reynolds number, Re = VD/ν

• Prandtl number, Pr = µcp/k = ν/α

• Nusselt number, Nu = hD/k

• Rayleigh number, Ra = …

What is the difference between thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity?

• Thermal conductivity, k, is the constant of proportionality between temperature difference and conduction heat transfer per unit area

• Thermal diffusivity, α, is the ratio of how much heat is conducted in a material to how much heat is stored

• α = k/(ρcp)

• Pr = µcp/k = ν/α

k = thermal conductivity (W/m/K, Btu/hr/ft/K)

ν = kinematic viscosity = µ/ρ (m2/s, ft2/min)

α = thermal diffusivity (m2/s, ft2/min)

Phase Change –Boiling

Forced Convection Boiling

Condensation

• Film condensation• On refrigerant tube surfaces• Water vapor on cooling coils

• Correlations• Eqn. 2.62 on the outside of horizontal tubes• Eqn. 2.63 on the inside of horizontal tubes

Radiation

• Transfer of energy by electromagnetic radiation• Does not require matter (only requires that the

bodies can “see” each other)• 100 – 10,000 nm (mostly IR)

Blackbody

• Idealized surface that• Absorbs all incident radiation• Emits maximum possible energy• Radiation emitted is independent of direction

Radiation emission The total energy emitted by a body,

regardless of the wavelengths, is given by:

Temperature always in K ! - absolute temperatures

– emissivity of surface ε= 1 for blackbody

– Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A - area
