TRANSFER OF HEAT
Heat always moves from a warmer place to a
cooler place.
Hot objects in a cooler room will cool to room
temperature.
Cold objects in a warmer room will heat up to
room temperature.
Heat transfers in three ways:
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
CONDUCTION
When a metal strip is heated at one end, the heat
travels to the other end.
As the metal is heated, the particles vibrate, these
vibrations make the adjacent particles vibrate, and
so on and so on, the vibrations are passed along
the metal and so is the heat. This is called
conduction.
CONVECTION
This phenomenon takes place in liquid and gas. Heat is
transferred due to actual motion of molecules.
RADIATION
This phenomenon is confined to surfaces.
Radiant energy emitted or absorbed is dependent on the
nature of the surface.
TYPES OF ELECTRIC HEATING
RESISTANCE HEATING:
This method is based upon the I²R loss.
Whenever current is passed through a resistive
material, heat is produced because of I²R losses.
Two methods of resistance heating
