Heat transfer

principle

Moving heat by conduction, convection and radiation.

Where it is used

Radiator — is used in. Heat is given off to the air through the honeycomb.
Pasteurization — is used in. The product is heated to 60–70 °C.
Intercooler — is used in. Cooling the air.
Fire-tube boiler — is used in. A larger heating surface.
Heat sink — is used in. Heat dissipation.
Food drying — is used in. Evaporating the moisture.
Samovar — is used in. A pipe inside the water.
Thermal insulation — is used in. Reducing heat transfer.
Solar water heater — is used in. Heating the water.
Liebig condenser — is used in. Cooling with water.
Davy lamp — is used in. The gauze draws off heat and stops the flame.
Ice house — is used in. Thick walls and earth slow down heat transfer.
Combined heat and power plant — is used in. Waste heat goes to heating.
Geothermal power station — is used in. The Earth’s heat warms water.
Heat shield — is used in. It protects by carrying heat away with a vaporizing layer.
