 What is HE@T?
Heat transfer (or heat)
•Heat is the form of energy that can be
transferred from one system to another as a result of
temperature difference.
•The science that deals with the determination of the
rates of energy transfers is heat transfer.
• Whenever there exists a temperature difference in a
medium or between media, heat transfer must
occur.
•The larger the temperature gradient, the higher the
rate of heat transfer.
•Heat (energy) always move from
warmer substance to cooler substance

HOT COLD

•Heat will continue to move until both

substances are the same temperature.

HOT HOT
 • To study the rate of
Why to heat being transferred
study
or
heat
transfer? • How long the process
takes place to transfer
such amount of heat from
one eq. state to another as
a result of temperature
difference.
