1. INTRODUCTION
Heat can be transformed from one place to another place by the three processes - conduction, convection and
radiation. In conduction, the heat flows from a place of higher temperature to a place of lower temperature through
a stationary medium. The molecules of the medium oscillate about their equilibrium positions more violently at
a place of higher temperature and collide with the molecules of adjacent position, thus transferring a part of
their energy to these molecules which now vibrate more violently. Thus heat can be transmitted by collision of
molecules. In metals, the conduction of heat takes place by the movement of free electrons. In the cases of liquids
and gases, the heat is transferred not only by collision but also by motion of heated molecules which carry the heat
in such media. This process is called convection. When a liquid in a vessel is heated, the lighter molecules present
in the lower layer of the liquid get heated which rise to the surface of the liquid and cold molecules at the surface
go towards the bottom of vessel. These are convection currents and are the major means of heat transport in fluids.
Radiation is mode of transfer of heat in which the heat travels directly from one place to another without the role
of any intervening medium. The heat from the sun propagates mostly through vacuum to reach the earth by the
process of radiation.
2. CONDUCTION
The figure shows a rod whose ends are in thermal contact with a hot reservoir at T1 > T2
temperature T1 and a cold reservoir at temperatureT2 . The sides of the rod are insulated, T1 T2
hence heat transfer is only along the rod and not through its sides. The molecules at the 0
hot reservoir have greater vibrational energy. This energy is transferred by collisions to
the atoms at the end face of the rod. These atoms in turn transfer the energy to their
neighbors further along the rod. Such transfer of heat through a substance in which (Hot) (Cold)
heat is transported without direct mass transport is called conduction.

The quantity of heat conducted Q in time t across a slab of length L, area of cross-
section A and steady state temperature θ1 and θ2 at respective hot and cold ends is

This relation is mathematically equivalent to Ohm’s Law and can be used very effectively in solving
problems effectively by considering temperature analogous to potential and heat transferred per unit

6. CONVECTION
In this process, actual motion of heated material results in transfer of heat from one place to another. For example,
in a hot air blower, air is heated by a heating element and is blown by a fan. The air carries the heat wherever it
goes. When water is kept in a vessel and heated on a stove, the water at the bottom gets heated due to conduction
through the vessel’s bottom. Its density decreases and consequently it rises. Thus, the heat is carried from bottom
to the top by the actual movement of the parts of the water. If the heated material is forced to move, say by
a blower or by a pump, the process of heat transfer is called forced convection. If the material moves due to
difference in density, it is called natural or free convection.
1 4 . 6 | Heat Transfer
PLANCESS CONCEPTS
The convection currents created in a room by a radiator means that the warm air is circulated around and
the warming is more uniform than just being the air around the radiator. When heating water on a stove,
the convection currents created by the rising hot water means that all the water gets heated instead of
just the water at the very bottom of the pan. Some rainfall is also caused by moist air being heated and
rising, then cooling quickly and allowing the water vapor to condense into rain.
Anand K (JEE 2011, AIR 47)
7. RADIATION
The third means of energy transfer is radiation which does not require a medium. The best known example of this
process is the radiation from Sun. All objects radiate energy continuously in the form of electromagnetic waves.
The rate at which an object radiates energy is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. This is
known as the Stefan’s law and is expressed in equation form as P = σAeT 4
Here P is the power in watts(J/s) radiated by object, A is the surface area in m2 ,e lies between 0 and 1 and
is called emissivity of the object and σ is universal constant called Stefan’s constant, which has the value,
=σ 5.67 × 10−8 W / m2 − K 4 .
PLANCESS CONCEPTS
Always remember that black body is a perfect absorber and emitter of light. At temperatures higher than
the surrounding, it is the most shining thing and at lower temperatures it is the darkest thing.
There is no perfect black body. Materials like black velvet or lamp black come close to being ideal black
bodies, but the best practical realization of an ideal black body is a small hole leading into a cavity, as
this absorbs 98% of the radiation incident on them.

As a perfectly black body absorbs all radiations incident on it, the absorptive power of perfectly black body is
maximum and unity.
Kirchhoff’s law tells that if a body has high emissive power, it should also have high absorptive power to have the
ratio e/a same. Similarly, a body having low emissive power should have low absorptive power. Kirchhoff’s law may
be easily proved by a simple argument as described below.
Consider two bodies A and B of similar geometrical shapes placed in an enclosure. Suppose A is any random body
and B is a blackbody. In thermal equilibrium, both the bodies will have the same temperature as the temperature
of the enclosure. Suppose an amount ∆U of radiation falls on the body A in a given time ∆t. As A and B have the
same geometrical shapes, the radiation falling on the blackbody B is also ∆U. The blackbody absorbs all of this ∆U.
As the temperature of the blackbody remains constant, it also emits an amount ∆U of radiation in that time. If the
emissive power of the blackbody is e0, we have ∆U ∝ E0 or ∆U = kE0 ... (i)
where k is constant.
Let the absorptive power of A be a. Thus, it absorbs an energy of a ∆U of the radiation falling on it in time ∆t. As
its temperature remains constant, it must also emit the same energy a ∆U in that time. If the emissive power of the
body A is e, we have a ∆U=ke ... (ii)
The same proportionality constant k is used in (i) and (ii) because the two bodies have identical geometrical shapes
and radiation emitted in the same time ∆t is considered.
From ( i ) and ( ii ),

PLANCESS CONCEPTS
It can be thought like, good absorber is a good emitter because at some point of time, it might have
stored energy because it is a good absorber. Now as soon as the temperature of the surrounding
becomes low than that of the body, this energy starts decreasing until the steady state is reached. Hence,
it must be a good emitter too.
Good absorbers for a particular wavelength are also good emitters of the same wavelength.
Anurag Saraf (JEE 2011, AIR 226)
A body which is not a blackbody, emits less radiation than given by equation (i). It is, however, proportional to T 4 .
The energy emitted by such a body per unit time is written as u= eσAT 4 … (ii)
Where e is a constant for the given surface having a value between 0 and 1. This constant is called the emissivity
of the surface. It is zero for completely reflecting surface and is unity for a blackbody.

PLANCESS CONCEPTS
Newton’s law of cooling can also be thought in the context of Stefan-Boltzmann law by considering
the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings very close to zero, i.e. it can be
considered as a special case of the latter.
Vijay Senapathi (JEE 2011, AIR 71)
λmaxT=b . Here b is a constant called Wien’s constant. The value of this constant in SI unit is 2.898 × 10−3 m-K. Thus,
λmax α1/ T
Here λmax is the wavelength corresponding to the maximum spectral emissive power eλ.
The second effect is that the total amount of energy the black body emits per unit area per unit time (=σT4)
increases with fourth power of absolute temperature T.
This is also known as emissive power. We know

PROBLEM-SOLVING TACTICS
1. Problems of conduction can be easily solved by making analogy with current electricity (Problems like
calculation of net conductance of series and parallel connection. Actually, the way in which steady state is
achieved in heat transfer and current electricity is very similar. At steady state considering a cylindrical rod,
potential at each point becomes constant in current electricity and so does temperature in heat transfer.
The amount of charge transferred per unit time is related in same way to potential as that of heat energy
transferred relates to temperature difference and the constant of proportionality have similar properties.)
2. Most of the problems involve concepts of integration, so be careful with infinitesimal elements. Basically, try
to be physically involved in the problem and understand it event by event so that you learn more. Toughness
in most of the questions is involved only in its mathematical analysis.
3. Problems from radiation and law of cooling also generally involve integration which becomes necessary to
do at times. However an approximate approach is also available in case of law of cooling useful in solving
problems without involving integration.
4. Laws must be carefully known because many questions directly focus on understanding of laws rather than
involving calculations (Example - If temperature of a body is doubled, find the ratio of maximum wavelength
for final and initial state.)
5. Noting down the known and asked quantities and thinking of a link between them will always prove to be a
good way.
6. Questions from this topic usually come in a hybrid involving concepts of other topics like thermodynamics,
gaseous state and calorimetry. So one must be strong in their concepts too!!
