Basic Concepts Heat: A form of energy Temperature: Degree of hotness or coldness of a body Heat Transfer: Transfer of energy from one region to another due to temperature difference till the equality of temperature or thermal equilibrium is attained. Basically, there are three modes of heat transfer; 1. Conduction 2. Convection 3. Radiation
Heat Transfer by Conduction Conduction: • Heat conduction is a mechanism of heat transfer from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature within a medium. (Solid, liquid or gas) • It can also take place between two bodies in physical contact, without much appreciable motion of molecules forming the substance. Pure conduction is found only in solids.
Fourier law of Heat Conduction (Joseph Fourier was a French mathematician)
Fourier law states that Rate of heat conduction ‘Q’ is proportional to the area ‘A’ measured normal to the direction of heat flow and to the temperature gradient (dT/dx) in that direction.

Newton’s law of cooling • The rate of heat transfer by convection between the fluid at temperature T and the solid surface at temperature TS is given by ‘Newton’s law of cooling’.
Q hA Ts T where 'h' (W / m 2 K) is the convective heat transfer coefficient which depends on the fluid flow but not a property of the material. A = Surface Area in m 2 Ts = Temperature of the surface, K T = Temperature of the fluid, K • Convection is possible only in a fluid medium. Effectiveness of convection depends largely on the mixing motion of the fluid.
Stefan-Boltzmann Law Of Radiation • A black body is a hypothetical perfect absorber and radiator of energy, with no reflecting power. • Stefan-Boltzmann Law states that “the emissive power of a black body is directly proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature”. Q T4 Q AT 4 where = Stefan Boltzmann constant = 5.669 10 8 W / m 2 K 4 , A Surface area of the body in m 2 T Absolute temperature in Kelvin *When there is a radiation exchange between two black bodies at temperatures T1 & T2 , then Q = A(T14 T24 ) ** Real surfaces do not radiate as much energy as black bodies. They are called grey bodies with emissivity ' ' such that Q = A (T14 T24 )
Finite Element formulation for heat transfer problems 1-D Heat transfer problem is analogous to 1 D bar element in structural analysis. u T 1) Strain in structural anlysis is replaced by temperature gradient x x 2) The stiffness matrix k is replaced by thermal conductivity matrix k t 3) Nodal displacement vector u is replaced by nodal temperature vector T 4) The load vector is replaced by heat generated /conducted/convected in from the element. 5) Displacement/force bc's are replaced by bc's of specified temperature/heat flux. 6) The shape functions, stiffness matrix & [B] matrix remains same. 7) Either Elimination approach or Penalty approach may be used for solving the equilibrium equation.

Boundary conditions in Thermal problems : Mainly there are three kinds of boundary conditions; (i) Specified temperature boundary conditions : Consider the wall of a furnace or tank containing hot liquid at a temperature To and the outer surface exposed to atmosphere at temperature T . Let the outside surface of the wall be maintained at TL as shown in fig. The boundary conditions are;
