What is Unsteady State Heat Transfer?

Unsteady State Heat Transfer refers to the heat transfer process in which a system's temperature changes with time. This type of heat transfer can happen in different forms, such as conduction, convection, and radiation. It occurs in various systems, including solid materials, fluids, and gases. The heat transfer rate in an unsteady state is directly proportional to the rate of temperature change. This means that the heat transfer rate is not constant and can vary over time. It's an important aspect in the design and optimization of thermal systems, and understanding this process is crucial in many research areas, such as combustion, electronics, and aerospace.

What is Lumped Parameter Model?

Interior temperatures of some bodies remain essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process. The temperature of such bodies are only a function of time, T = T(t). The heat transfer analysis based on this idealization is called lumped system analysis.
