Intro:
The
aim
of
this
section
is
to
analyze
the
treatment
of
heat
transfer
through
a
differential
control
volume.
The
detailed
step
by
step
derivation
of
the
general
energy
differential
equation
is
left
to
the
textbook,
though
key
assumptions
and
concepts
will
be
addressed.
In
order
to
properly
apply
the
fundamental
energy
differential
equation
in
problem
solving,
it
is
necessary
to
identify
which
assumptions
are
valid.
From
these
assumptions,
we
are
often
able
to
arrive
at
one
of
the
special
cases
of
the
differential
energy
equation.

Level

Class:
In
general,
the
most
common
form
of
the
differential
equation
we
use
in
an
undergraduate
heat

class
is:

Useful
to
note
is
that
!" = !" + ,
where
the
v
term
is
simply
velocity
and
!"

the
= !" + !" + !" .
When
there
is
no
fluid
flow
of
the
system
the
velocity
goes
to
!"
zero and when the system is at steady state, !" goes to 0. This simplifies the equation to:
2 +

Remember
that

heat

and

not

heat
flow

object.
In
questions,
this
term
will
be
generated
by
some
external
or
internal
source
like
electricity
or
a
chemical
reaction.
Furthermore,
if
there
is
no
such
heat
generation,
the
equation
can
further
simplify
to:
2 = 0
Boundary
Conditions
Following
the
thorough
simplification
of
the
general
energy
differential
equation,
a
first
or
second
order
differential
equation
is
obtained.
Recall
from
the
previous
semester
that
boundary
conditions
are
applied
at
this
step
in
order
to
solve
for
the
constants
which
result
from
each
integration.
The
general
rule
of
thumb
is
that
one
distinct
boundary
condition
is
required
for
each
order
of
integration.
The
following
boundary
conditions
for
temperature
are
listed:
