DESCRIBE THE 3 METHODS OF HEAT TRANSFER – CONVECTION CONDUCTION AND RADIATION

Heat exchangers are a device that exchange the heat between two fluids of different
temperatures that are separated by a solid wall. The temperature gradient, or the differences in
temperature facilitate this transfer of heat. Transfer of heat happens by three principle means:
radiation, conduction[r]

When the objective is to use many channels in parallel, for thepurpose of cooling or heating a specified volume that is penetrated by these channels,there is an optimal channel geometry such that the heat transfer rate integrated overthe volume is maximal.[r]

In anexternal flow configuration, a solid object is surrounded by the flow.There are two basic questions for the engineer who cont[r]
