What is Heat Transfer?

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and transfer of energy by phase changes.

Define Thermal Conductivity & Factors affecting it?

Thermal conductivity is defined as the ability of a substance to conduct heat. Factors Affecting The Thermal Conductivity are: Moisture, Density of material, Pressure, Temperature & Structure of material.
