Heat transfer is a fundamental discipline that studies the mechanisms of thermal energy propagation. The first chapter introduces the basics and defines the three modes of transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. The second chapter deals with conduction, explaining heat transfer in solids by molecular motion governed by Fourier's law. The third chapter discusses convection, where heat is transferred by fluid motion (forced or natural), following laws such as Newton's Law of Cooling. Finally, the fourth chapter examines radiation, a transfer mode that does not require a medium, based on electromagnetic waves and described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law. These mechanisms, often combined, are fundamental to many industrial and everyday applications.
