Introduction • Thermal systems are those that involve the transfer of heat from one substance to another. • Thermal system may be analyzed in terms of thermal resistance and thermal capacitance although they may not be represented as lumped parameters. • But by making some assumptions, they can be represented as distributed parameters, which make the analysis simple.

Assumptions for the system • • •
Fluid in the tank is perfectly mixed so that it is at uniform temperature The tank is insulated to eliminate heat loss to the surrounding air. There is no heat storage in the insulation.

Definitions for variables of the system • θi = Steady state temperature of inflowing liquid, • θ = Steady state temperature of out-flowing liquid, • H = Steady state heat input rate from heater.

What happens when you move from steady state?
•
Let ∆H be a small change in the heat input rate from its steady state value. This change in H will result in the following changes. – – –
Change in heat output rate by an amount ∆H1. Change in heat storage rate of liquid in the tank by an amount ∆H2. Change in temperature of out-flowing liquid by an amount ∆θ.

Thermal Resistance • Change in outflow heat rate is given by ∆H1 = Q Cs ∆θ • Where Q = Steady state liquid flow rate Cs = Specific heat of liquid
• ∆H1 = ∆θ/R – If R = 1/QCs which is defined as the Thermal Resistance July – December 2008

Thermal Capacitance • Change in heat storage rate is given by ∆H2 = MCs d∆θ/dt • Where – M = mass of the liquid in the tank – ∆dθ/dt = rate of rise of temperature in the tank
• ∆H2 = C d∆θ/dt – Where C = MCs which is defined as Thermal Capacitance. July – December 2008

Transfer function for the system ∆H= ∆H1 + ∆H2 • The mathematical model of a thermal system shown in figure is ΔH=
d Δθ Δθ +C R dt
• Applying Laplace transform
Δθ ( s ) + CsΔθ ( s ) R ⎡1 ⎤ = ⎢ + Cs ⎥ Δθ ( s ) ⎣R ⎦
ΔH(s)=

Summary • Thermal systems are simple systems like level and do not yield to complexities like pneumatic or hydraulic systems. • Hence, it is easy and possible to associate analogous situations and derive the transfer function.
