(Short Question on Heat Transfer )

Q1/ What is the difference between heat and temperature ?

So/ heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is is a measure of the
average energy of molecular motion in a substance.

Q2/what is the difference between heat transfer and thermodynamics ?

So/ thermodynamics concern to the energy but heat transfer concern transferring heat .

Q3/ Explain the main differences between the three models of heat transfer (conduction , conection ,
radiation )?

So/ conduction , must be have transferring in solid wall . convection , heat transferring between gas with
liquid and radiation , heat transferring of energy in the from of particles through space or through a
material medium .

Q4/ Explain with assistance of drawing and laws the analogy between heat transfer and electricity in in
resistance concept ?
So/

Q5/ If we have a hot block and want to cooling it , explain how we can increate the cooling rate of it ?

So/ we can cooling it by two type the first by forced by using water and fan and the second the natural
working .

Q6/ What is the relation between thermal conductivity (K) and Thermal Resistance (R) ?
So/The Thermal resistance of a material is the inverse of the thermal conductivity .

Q7/ Explain how the insulation material and thickness effect on heat transfer rate ?

So/ If The thickness the insulation Increase , causing the lower the heat transfer rate .

Q8/ what is the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow ?

So/ The turbulent flows always have a higher heat coefficient compared to the laminar flows .

Q9/ Explain with drawing the difference between natural and forced convection ?

So/

Q10/ convection heat transfer depends on some factors , main tence them ?

So / 1- Fluid properties ( µ, k , ρ , Cp )

2- Fluid velocity – geometry of the surface

3- roughness of the surface

4- type of the fluid flow ( laminar or turbulent)

Q11/ explain where and when the conduction and the convection heat transfer is equal through fluid
flow between two plates ?

So / In Steady state condition and one dimenstional conduction in the insulation .

Q12/ Explain how can you get the following dimensional number ( nusslet number ) Nu
, where : Nu = h Lc / K ?

So/ q·conv / q·cond = hΔT / kΔT / L = hL / k = Nu

Q13/ Briefiy compare compressible versus incompressible flow of fluids ?

So/Compressible : If the density of the fluid changes

Incompressible : If not the density of the fluid changes .

Q14/ what is the difference between the following types of fluid flow , steady un steady and uniform ?

So/ Steady : no change with time

Unsteady : change with time

Uniform : No change with location .

Q15/ Explain by drawing the development of the boundary layer for flow over a flat plate and the
different flow regimes ?
So/

Q16/ what is the prandle number (Pr) and on what it depends ?

So/ Pr = Molecular diffusivity momentum / Molecular diffusivity of heat = v/α = µ C p/ k
