Abstract

This chapter covers the basics of thermodynamics and heat transfer, which helps in understanding the heat transfer mechanism and thermal modeling of various solar thermal systems covered in further chapters. The laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer are also covered in the chapter. The general terms related to thermodynamics and heat transfer are also defined in this chapter, as these terms will be used frequently in upcoming chapters.


Keywords: Basics of heat transfer, Basic terminology, Laws of heat transfer, Thermodynamics.
