In heat transfer the analogous methods are convection and conduction both a particle and a wave (but not really)Conduction The end in the fire experiences a large vibration of the molecules of the metal The movement of heat from a high temperature region to a low temperature region through another materialConduction Through a SlabConductive Heat TransferThe rate at which heat is transferred by conduction is given byH = Q/t = kA (TH - TC)/LWhere: Q is heat and t is time A is the cross sectional area of the material (in the direction of heat transfer) T is the temperature (hot or cold)Thermal ConductivitiesMetals generally have high k Al and Cu make good pots and pans For air, k=0.026 for polyurethane foam, k=0.024 Down filled winter coats trap air for insulationComposite Slabs H = Q/t = A (TH - TC)/ (L/k)Where (L/k) is the sum of the ratios of the thickness and thermal conductivity of each layer of the slabConduction Through Multiple LayersHeat Loss Through a WallThe Surface of the SunConvectionHot air (or any fluid) expands and becomes less dense than the cooler air around it If the hot air cools as it rises it will eventually fall back down to be re-heated and rise again Examples: baseboard heating, boiling water, Earth’s atmosphereConvection Rate FactorsFluidity Energy exchange with environment How rapidly will the material lose heat? A small temperature difference may result in not enough density difference to moveRadiationEnergy can be directly transported by photons The power (in Watts) that is emitted by an object depends on its temperature (T), its area (A) and it emissivity ()Pr = AT4 Emissivity has a value between 0 and 1Absorption of RadiationEvery object also absorbs radiation at a rate determined by its properties and the temperature of its environment Where Tenv is the temperature of the environment Pn = Pa -Pr = A(Tenv4 - T4)Blackbody Radiation They absorb all of the radiation incident on them Every object whose temperature is above 0 K emits thermal radiationPeople emit thermal radiation at infrared wavelengths and thus can be detected at night with IR gogglesStructure of the SunCoreRadiative ZoneConvective ZonePhotosphereChromosphereCoronaHeat Transfer in The Sun Near the core (where the energy is produced via hydrogen fusion) energy is transported by radiation About 75% of the way out, the opacity increases to a level where convection becomes dominant Convection transports the energy to the surface where it radiates away into
