Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change … Wikipedia
Heat transfer coefficient — The heat transfer coefficient, in thermodynamics and in mechanical and chemical engineering, is used in calculating the heat transfer, typically by convection or phase change between a fluid and a solid::Delta Q=h cdot A cdot Delta T cdot Delta… … Wikipedia
Enhanced heat transfer — Heat exchangers were initially developed to use plain (or smooth) heat transfer surfaces. An Enhanced heat transfer surface has a special surface geometry that provides a higher thermal performance, per unit base surface area than a plain surface … Wikipedia
heat transfer — ▪ physics any or all of several kinds of phenomena, considered as mechanisms, that convey energy and entropy from one location to another. The specific mechanisms are usually referred to as convection, thermal radiation (qq.v.), and… … Universalium
Convective heat transfer — See also: Heat transfer and convection This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. In this figure, a hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes… … Wikipedia
Heat pipe — A heat pipe is a heat transfer mechanism that can transport large quantities of heat with a very small difference in temperature between the hotter and colder interfaces. Inside a heat pipe, at the hot interface a fluid turns to vapour and the… … Wikipedia
Heat conduction — or thermal conduction is the spontaneous transfer of thermal energy through matter, from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and acts to equalize temperature differences. It is also described as heat energy… … Wikipedia
Heat recovery ventilation — (also known as a heat exchanger, air exchanger or air to air exchanger) is a ventilation system that employs a counter flow heat exchanger between the inbound and outbound air flow. HRV provide fresh air and improved climate control, while also… … Wikipedia
