5. TRANSIENT CONDUCTION Simplified Model: Lumped-Capacity Method – Kapacitní metoda Basic assumption: Neglect spatial temperature variation: T = T(t)

ro = δL
α = heat transfer coefficient λ = thermal conductivity L = r o = radius (characteristic dimension) ΔT = temperature drop across wire
Objective: Neglecting temperature drop ΔT across L • The Biot number combines the effects of λ, L and α: αL Bi = λ 2
• Criterion for neglecting ΔT in the lumped-capacity model:
αL Bi = < 0,1 λ
Physical significance of Bi:
(5.1)
L/λ internal resistance = Bi = 1/α external resistance

• Application to other geometries: Use Bi<0,1to justify applying the lumped-capacity model to: (1) Plate of thickness L, exchanging heat on both surfaces: L ≡ L/2 (2) Sphere of radius
L = ro
(3) Irregular shape of surface area S and volume V V L= S

Lumped-Capacity Analysis Consider a body which is exchanging heat with the ambient by convection S = surface area α = heat transfer coefficient T∞ = ambient temperature
Objective: Determine the transient temperature Assume: Bi < 0.1
T = T (t ) 5
Apply conservation of energy during time interval dt: E& in + E& g − E& out = ΔE
(5.3)
E& g = energy generated E& = energy added in E& = energy removed out
Δ E = energy change (storage, i.e. accumulation) Assume that the body is losing heat and assume no heat generation: E& g = E& in = 0. Equation (5.3) becomes − E& = ΔE (5.4) out
Neglect radiation and assume that heat is removed by convection 6
E& out = αS(T − T∞ )
