Basic Principles of Heat Transfer

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Basic Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering

Abstract

This chapter deals with three different types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer. Relevant dimensionless numbers such as Nusselt number, Prandtl number, and Grashof number are shown to help systematically understand the heat transfer.
