Introduction to Heat Transfer
Heat transfer is the exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The rate of heat transfer is dependent on the temperatures of the systems and the properties of the intervening medium through which the heat is transferred.

Introduction to Heat Transfer (cont.)
The transfer of heat is the principal mechanism by which environmental effects are manifested within buildings.
Examples of Heat transfer

Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat when a moving fluid contacts a surface at a different temperature. It is always associated with large scale motion of a fluid over a warmer or cooler surface.

Convection is classified as natural and forced convection. Natural (Free) convection results from density differences in the fluid whereas forced convection occurs when a force external to the problem move a fluid past a warmer or cooler surface.

Convection coefficients is a quantitative characteristic of convective heat transfer between a fluid medium (a fluid) and the surface (wall) flowed over by the fluid.
