convection heat transfer
1Heat 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 …
2Heat 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… …
3heat transfer — heat transfer, the flow of heat from warmer bodies to colder bodies; the transfer of heat between solids, liquids, or gases, by conduction, convection, or radiation …
4Convective 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… …
5heat transfer — [1] The transfer of thermal energy from one material to another by means of thermal conduction, convection or radiation; heat transfer is possible only from a high to a low temperature level [2] Movement of heat from one body or substance to… …
6heat 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… …
7Heat Transfer — The flow of heat from one area to another by conduction, convection, and/or radiation. Heat flows naturally from a warmer to a cooler material or space …
8heat transfer — noun The transmission of thermal energy via conduction, convection or radiation …
9Convection — This figure shows a calculation for thermal convection in the Earth s mantle. Colors closer to red are hot areas and colors closer to blue are cold areas. A hot, less dense lower boundary layer sends plumes of hot material upwards, and likewise,… …
10Convection–diffusion equation — The convection–diffusion equation is a parabolic partial differential equation combining the diffusion equation and the advection equation, which describes physical phenomena where particles or energy (or other physical quantities) are… …
