Heat transfer is the process of the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference. The calculations we are interested in include determining the final temperatures of materials and how long it takes for these materials to reach these temperatures. This can help inform the level of insulation required to ensure heat is not lost from a system. Typically, heat loss is directly proportional to a temperature gradient. Heat transfer can be achieved by three processes i.e. conduction, convection or radiation.
