Heat Transfer: Crash Course Engineering #14

Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    The driving force behind heat transfer is a difference in temperature; without a temperature difference, there is no heat transfer.

  • 2

    The three main types of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation.

  • 3

    Thermal resistance is defined as the thickness of a material divided by its thermal conductivity and area, and it determines how well a material resists heat transfer by conduction.
