Energy from most resources is extracted in the form of heat by combustion. The heat or thermal energy is then transferred to other media, such as water to generate steam or a gas to heat it up. Steam is used to run a steam turbine, and hot gas is used in a gas turbine. The heat transfer mechanism should be understood in order to design such a system. Various heat transfer mechanisms and factors that affect the transfer of heat from one medium to another are discussed in this chapter.
