2. Heat transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_coefficient

   The general definition of the heat transfer coefficient is: where: : heat flux (W/m²); i.e., thermal power per unit area, : difference in temperature between the solid surface and surrounding fluid area (K) The heat transfer coefficient is the reciprocal of thermal insulance. This is used for building materials (R-value) and for clothing ...

3. Schwarzschild's equation for radiative transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild's_equation...

   In the study of heat transfer, Schwarzschild's equation[1][2][3] is used to calculate radiative transfer (energy transfer via electromagnetic radiation) through a medium in local thermodynamic equilibrium that both absorbs and emits radiation. The incremental change in spectral intensity, [4] (dIλ, [W/sr/m 2 /μm]) at a given wavelength as ...

4. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

   Heat transfer physics. Heat transfer physics describes the kinetics of energy storage, transport, and energy transformation by principal energy carriers: phonons (lattice vibration waves), electrons, fluid particles, and photons. [1][2][3][4][5] Heat is thermal energy stored in temperature-dependent motion of particles including electrons ...

5. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

   Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and transfer of energy by phase changes.

6. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

   Newton's law of cooling. In the study of heat transfer, Newton's law of cooling is a physical law which states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its environment. The law is frequently qualified to include the condition that the temperature difference is small ...

7. Convection (heat transfer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_(Heat_transfer)

   A hot, less-dense material at the bottom moves upwards, and likewise, cold material from the top moves downwards. Convection (or convective heat transfer) is the transfer of heat from one place to another due to the movement of fluid. Although often discussed as a distinct method of heat transfer, convective heat transfer involves the combined ...
