Conduction of Heat in Solids H. S. Carslaw, J. C. Jaeger

SCENE16: I hope you like it here! The standard reference for analytical solutions is "Conduction of heat in solids", Carslaw & Jaeger, 1959. For conduction of heat, a material medium is necessary. In the event that heat transfer occurs through several solids, the above equation can be adapted by supplementing the solid's thickness (L) divided by its thermal conductivity (λ). Even though conduction is specific to solids, this heat transfer mechanism is found at the interaction of two fluids, when they have a laminar flow. This can be understood if we see how solids, liquids and gases are bound to their respective atoms or molecules. Conduction occurs mostly in solids. Conduction can simply be thought of as heat transfer by “touch”, and only can occur in matter (solids, liquids and gases). The greatest flow of heat possible between materials is where there is a direct conduction between solids. SCENE15: Carol, thanks for inviting me to your house!! An example of conduction through contact between two solids is a cooking pot on the solid surface of a hot stove. Conduction: Heat is disorderly kinetic energy of molecules and/or vibration of molecules depending on if the matter is solid liquid or gas. SCENE7: Conduction is heat tranfer through solids like metal. You may be able to do some useful scaling of cooling times without getting a full solution. SCENE8: The heat is tranferred from the hot coffee to the metal spoon.
