This lecture covers the fundamentals of heat transfer in fluids, focusing on the concepts of conduction, convection, and thermal equilibrium. Starting with an introduction to heat transfer in continua, the instructor explains the mechanisms of thermal transport and steady-state conditions. The lecture delves into the distinction between thermal transport in fluids and solids, exploring convection and the flux of heat. The presentation continues with an investigation of heat flux accumulation, boundary conditions, and the development of similar expressions for heat transfer. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the role of thermal conductivity, isotropic materials, and the rate of heat accumulation in different media.
