MEEN 3210: Heat Transfer (MEEN3210)

This document is a detailed summary of Chapter 1 on heat transfer, covering fundamental concepts, equations, and methods used in analyzing heat flow. It begins by defining heat transfer as energy in transit due to a temperature difference, distinguishing it from thermal energy and temperature. The three primary modes of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—are explained with relevant laws: Fourier’s Law for conduction, Newton’s Law of Cooling for convection, and the Stefan...
