Metals: The thermal conduc vity of metals generally increases with temperature due to increased la ce vibra ons and electron sca ering. Temperature gradient (dT/dx) = (T1 - T2) / L = (130 - 100) / 0.15 = 200 °C/m
However, for some metals, the thermal conduc vity may decrease at very high temperatures due to increased electron sca ering. Pressure has
a negligible effect on the thermal conduc vity of metals. 2. Calcula ng the Heat Transfer Rate:
Gases: The thermal conduc vity of gases increases with temperature due to increased molecular mo on and collisions. Pressure also affects The heat transfer rate (Q) through the rod can be calculated using Fourier's Law:
the thermal conduc vity of gases. At low pressures, the mean free path of gas molecules is large, and the thermal conduc vity is low. As Q = -kA(dT/dx)
pressure increases, the mean free path decreases, and the thermal conduc vity increases.

Insulated boundary condi on: This condi on implies that there is no heat flux across the boundary. Mathema cally, it is represented
as: A = cross-sec onal area of the rod = πD²/4
This condi on is applicable to insulated surfaces, such as those covered with insula on material. The heat loss from the rod surface to the ambient air can be calculated using Newton's Law of Cooling:
Convec ve boundary condi on: This condi on implies that heat is transferred between the surface and the surrounding fluid by Q = hA(T2 - T∞)

-kA(dT/dx) = hA(T2 - T∞)
where h is the convec on heat transfer coefficient, Ts is the surface temperature, and Tf is the fluid temperature. This condi on is applicable to
surfaces exposed to fluids, such as air or water. Solving for the thermal conduc vity (k):
(iii) Thermal diffusivity and its dependence on me and penetra on k = -h(T2 - T∞) / (dT/dx)
Thermal diffusivity (α) is a material property that characterizes how quickly heat diffuses through a material. It is defined as: Subs tu ng the given values:
where k is the thermal conduc vity, ρ is the density, and Cp is the specific heat capacity. Since thermal conduc vity cannot be nega ve, there seems to be an error in the problem statement or the given values. Please double-
check the values and problem statement.
Thermal diffusivity does not depend on me or penetra on depth. However, the temperature distribu on within a material at a given me
depends on the thermal diffusivity and the ini al and boundary condi ons. As me progresses, the temperature distribu on penetrates deeper If the problem statement is correct, we can s ll calculate the heat transfer rate (Q) using either of the two heat transfer equa ons:

Thermal Boundary Layer and Thermal Boundary Layer Thickness
a) Planck's Law and Stefan-Boltzmann Law
14. Thermal Boundary Layer: Planck's Law describes the spectral radiance of black body radiation as a function of wavelength and temperature. It is given by:
15. When a fluid flows over a surface with a different temperature, a thermal boundary layer develops near the surface. This layer is Eλ(T) = (2πhc²/λ⁵) * (1/(exp(hc/λkT) - 1))
characterized by a significant temperature gradient, with the fluid temperature gradually increasing from the surface temperature to the
where:
free-stream temperature.
16. Thermal Boundary Layer Thickness (δ_t): Eλ(T) is the spectral radiance (power emitted per unit area per unit wavelength)
17. The thermal boundary layer thickness (δ_t) is defined as the distance from the surface where the fluid temperature reaches 99% of the h is Planck's constant
free-stream temperature. It is typically smaller than the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness (δ). c is the speed of light
18. Correlation between Thermal Boundary Layer and Convective Heat Transfer Coefficient: λ is the wavelength
19. The convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is directly related to the thermal boundary layer thickness. A thinner thermal boundary
layer results in a higher temperature gradient and, consequently, a higher heat transfer coefficient. k is Boltzmann's constant
T is the temperature 1
Key Points: Deriving Stefan-Boltzmann Law from Planck's Law:
The thermal boundary layer thickness depends on the flow conditions, fluid properties, and surface temperature. To obtain the total emissive power (E) emitted by a black body over all wavelengths, we integrate Planck's law over all wavelengths:
A higher Prandtl number (Pr) results in a thinner thermal boundary layer. E = ∫(0 to ∞) Eλ(T) dλ
After a complex integration, we obtain:
The thermal boundary layer can be laminar or turbulent, depending on the flow regime.
E = σT⁴
The convective heat transfer coefficient is higher in turbulent flow compared to laminar flow due to increased mixing and enhanced This is the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.
heat transfer.
In different flow regimes:
Laminar Flow: The thermal boundary layer develops gradually along the surface. The heat transfer coefficient is relatively low.
Turbulent Flow: The thermal boundary layer is thicker and more turbulent, leading to higher heat transfer coefficients.
where: 5. View Factor for Infinite Parallel Plates: For two large parallel plates, the view factor F₁₂ is equal to 1, as all the radia on emi ed by
one surface is intercepted by the other.
Q₁₂ is the net heat exchange
Therefore, the expression for radia ve exchange between two black bodies separated by a non-absorbing medium becomes:
σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
Q₁₂ = σA(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)
A is the area of each surface
The net heat transfer is propor onal to the difference in the fourth powers of the temperatures of the two surfaces.
Radia on Exchange Between Two Non-Black Surfaces:
A higher temperature difference results in a higher rate of heat transfer.
For non-black surfaces with emissivi es ε₁ and ε₂, the net heat exchange can be calculated using the following equa on:
The larger the surface area, the greater the heat transfer.
Q₁₂ = (σA(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)) / (1/ε₁ + 1/ε₂ - 1)

Fick's Law of Diffusion describes the diffusion of a substance within another substance due to a concentra on gradient. It states that the rate of
The term (1/ε₁ + 1/ε₂ - 1) in the denominator accounts for the reduced emissivity of the surfaces compared to black bodies. diffusion of a substance is propor onal to the concentra on gradient.
The surfaces are large and parallel, so the shape factor between them is 1. J = -D ∇C
The surfaces are diffuse emi ers and diffuse reflectors. Where:
The medium between the surfaces is non-absorbing and non-sca ering. J is the diffusion flux (mass/area/ me)

Understanding Black Bodies and Radia on Heat Transfer In steady-state equimolar counter diffusion, two gases A and B diffuse in opposite direc ons through a stagnant medium at the same molar
