Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
1-1C Thermodynamics deals with the amount of heat transfer as a system undergoes a process from one equilibrium state to
another. Heat transfer, on the other hand, deals with the rate of heat transfer as well as the temperature distribution within the
system at a specified time.
1-2C (a) The driving force for heat transfer is the temperature difference. (b) The driving force for electric current flow is the
electric potential difference (voltage). (a) The driving force for fluid flow is the pressure difference.
1-3C The caloric theory is based on the assumption that heat is a fluid-like substance called the "caloric" which is a massless,
colorless, odorless substance. It was abandoned in the middle of the nineteenth century after it was shown that there is no
such thing as the caloric.
1-4C The rating problems deal with the determination of the heat transfer rate for an existing system at a specified
temperature difference. The sizing problems deal with the determination of the size of a system in order to transfer heat at a
specified rate for a specified temperature difference.
1-5C The experimental approach (testing and taking measurements) has the advantage of dealing with the actual physical
system, and getting a physical value within the limits of experimental error. However, this approach is expensive, time
consuming, and often impractical. The analytical approach (analysis or calculations) has the advantage that it is fast and
inexpensive, but the results obtained are subject to the accuracy of the assumptions and idealizations made in the analysis.
1-6C The description of most scientific problems involves equations that relate the changes in some key variables to each
other, and the smaller the increment chosen in the changing variables, the more accurate the description. In the limiting case
of infinitesimal changes in variables, we obtain differential equations, which provide precise mathematical formulations for
the physical principles and laws by representing the rates of changes as derivatives.
As we shall see in later chapters, the differential equations of fluid mechanics are known, but very difficult to solve
except for very simple geometries. Computers are extremely helpful in this area.
1-7C Modeling makes it possible to predict the course of an event before it actually occurs, or to study various aspects of an
event mathematically without actually running expensive and time-consuming experiments. When preparing a mathematical
model, all the variables that affect the phenomena are identified, reasonable assumptions and approximations are made, and
the interdependence of these variables are studied. The relevant physical laws and principles are invoked, and the problem is
formulated mathematically. Finally, the problem is solved using an appropriate approach, and the results are interpreted.
