Heat transfer is all about the transfer of heat from one point to another. If we consider any system which will be at higher temperature compared to surroundings, there will be transfer of heat from system to the surrounding
Q= m x c x Δ T
Where m is the mass
C is the specific heat and
Δ T is the temperature difference in K
There are three types of Heat transfer
conduction
convection
radiation
Heat transfer (Q) by Conduction formula is given by

Where k is the thermal conductivity of the material
A is the cross sectional area
THot is the higher temperature
TCold is the cooler temperature
t is the time taken
d is the thickness of the material
Heat transfer by Convection is given by
Where Hc is the heat transfer coefficientThe Heat transfer by radiation is given by
Here σ is the Stefan Boltzmann Constant
Heat transfer is usually expressed in Joules. Heat transfer formula is used in problems to find the heat transfer taking place for any given material
