Science > Physics > Heat Transfer > Conduction Heat always gets transferred from the body and higher temperature to a body at lower temperature heat transfer can take place in three ways a) Conduction b) Convection and c) Radiation. In this article, we shall study the heat transfer by the conduction. Conduction: If one end […]
Science > Physics > Heat Transfer > Convection and Radiation In this article, we shall study different modes of heat transfer. Convection: Convection is a mode of heat transfer through a material medium in which heat energy is carried from one place to another by actual motion “migration” of heated matter. Consider a beaker containing […]
Science > Physics > Radiation > Numerical Problems on Newton’s Law of Cooling In this article, we are going to study to solve numerical problems based on Newton’s law of cooling. Newton’s Law of Cooling: The rate of loss of heat by a body is directly proportional to its excess temperature over that of the […]
Science > Physics > Radiation > Stefan’s Law of Radiation In this article, we shall study Stefan’s law of radiation, Newton’s law of cooling, derivation of Newton’s law of cooling from Stefan’s law and to calculate the temperature of the solar surface. Stefan’s Law: Statement: The heat energy radiated per unit time per unit area […]
Science > Physics > Radiation > Concept of Black Body In this article, we shall study the concept of a black body and its realization in practice. Perfectly Black Body: A body which absorbs all the radiant heat incident upon it is called a perfectly black body. Thus the coefficient of absorption of a perfectly […]
Science > Physics > Radiation > Kirchhoff’s law of Radiation In this article, we shall study Kirchhoff’s law of radiation and its theoretical and experimental proof. Statement: The ratio of the emissive power to the coefficient of absorption is constant for all substances at a given temperature and is equal to the emissive power of […]
Science > Physics > Radiation > Introduction to Radiation The different modes of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. In this article. we shall study radiation. Radiation: Radiation is a process of transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves for which material medium is not necessary. Radiant Heat: The thermal energy which […]
