ASHRAE F04-2009 (SI)

Heat transfer is energy transferred because of a temperature difference. Energy moves from a higher-temperature region to a lower-temperature region by one or more of three modes: conduction, radiation, and convection. This chapter presents elementary principles of single-phase heat transfer, with emphasis on HVAC applications. Boiling and condensation are discussed in Chapter 5. More specific information on heat transfer to or from buildings or refrigerated spaces can be found in Chapters 14 to 19,23, and 27 of this volume and in Chapter 13 of the 2006 ASHRAE HandbookRefrigeration. Physical properties of substances can be found in Chapters 26, 28, 32, 26 and 33 of this volume and in Chapter 9 of the 2006 ASHRAE HandbookRefrigeration. Heat transfer equipment, including evaporators, condensers, heating and cooling coils, furnaces, and radiators, is covered in the 2008 ASHRAE HandbookHVAC Systems and Equipment. For further information on heat transfer, see the Bibliography.
