Heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation)

A heat pump is a machine that extracts energy from the air to heat or cool a space. This process is referred to as space conditioning. Heat pumps function as a reverse heat engine, drawing heat from a cold area and transferring it to a warm area. This article will also help you find out […]

In our daily routine, we have come across instances where heat transfer has played a vital role. For example, when we bring the ice outside from the freezer, it starts to melt during the hot summer days. Since the temperature outside the freezer is higher than the freezing point of water, the heat transfer occurs

What is Weather? To begin with, weather can be understood as the atmosphere’s condition above the earth, for example, rain, wind and temperature specifically for a particular area and at a particular period. Thus, with this, the basic definition of weather can be understood. As we will move forward, the focus on diverse topics such

Diborane is an organic compound and chemically it is written as B2 H6. In diborane molecules four-terminal boron-hydrogen bonds and two bridge boron-hydrogen-boron are present. It has a sweet odour and is present in the gaseous state at normal room temperature. It is inflammable and highly toxic, so it is not sustainable for human health.

temperatures to lower temperature areas. Heat doesn’t transfer from lower to higher temperature areas without any additional work.  A heat pump plays a crucial role in controlling a building’s temperature. It transfers heat caused due to high temperature from the outside to the inside, using electrical energy. Heat pumps are responsible for providing a suitable

Conduction, or heat transfer, results from microscopic collisions of particles and the movement of electrons in an object. This heat transfer usually takes place in three states of matter – solid, liquid and plasma.  In this article, we will explore the topic of conduction and its types, along with a detailed discussion of two major

Introduction to transient conduction Synonymous to Non-Steady-State Conduction, transient conduction refers to a process where heat energy transfers to the medium that is never constant. The rate of heat flow keeps fluctuating. This can  be due to the origin of differentiating rates of heat transfer can either be constantly changing over the medium or due

Introduction Thermodynamics is an integral part of modern science. It deals with all the significant factors relating to work, temperature, energy, and heat factors. The study of thermodynamics manages the relationship and balance between all these four major pillars of science. In a major way, the thermodynamic principles deal with transferable forms of energy and

Originally derived from Fourier’s law for heat conduction, thermal resistance to conduction is an important concept to cover. Thermal resistance to conduction is defined as the ratio of president temperature between two phases of a material to the rate of flow of heat per unit area.  In this article, we will understand the topic of

The term “thermal properties of materials” refers to material traits or features that are affected by temperature or heat. The thermal characteristic of solids is defined as the response of a solid substance to a thermal change, such as an increase or reduction in heat or temperature. The sensitivity of materials to temperature variations and
