The term flux, is used to indicate the amount of something crossing a unit area per second. In the case of heat flux, it would be the number of calories or BTU crossing a square meter or foot per second.

What is the direction of heat flux on isothermal surface?

Direction of heat flux on an isothermal surface is always normal to the surface.


How heat flux affects performance of the boiler?

Heat flux is the primary performance paramater in boiler performance. Heat flux can be affected by many factors espacially by boiler tube fouling ( or exchange surfaces) that will considerably reduce heat exchange.


In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current?

In a Transformer, Core flux is the difference of primary flux and Secondary flux which are opposite to each other in direction. There difference is equal to the no load flux at all loads. So, some of primary flux passes through the core and remaining becomes leakage flux (Because Secondary flux forces it to get out of the core). Same is the case with Secondary flux. Now, flux is directly proportional to Voltage and Current. When Current increases due to increased load (and voltage remains same): Then both primary and secondary flux increase. Because both of them increase, so there difference remains same. And all remaining flux is forced out. Hence leakage flux increases with current, but Core flux remains constant. When Primary Voltage is increased: Then only primary flux increases. So difference of this new increased primary flux and previous same secondary flux increases. Hence Core flux increases with voltage, But leakage flux does not. That's how In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current.


What flux that does not follow the intended path in a magnetic circuit?

leakage flux


What tranfers heat through flowing material?

If the material itself is moving than it is called convection.Heat flux is a quantitative, vectorial representation of the heat flow through a surface.

What are the two principal sources of heat in the Earth Which has a greater contribution tosurface heat flux?

The two principal sources of heat are the Sun and the Earth itself via geothermal heat. The sun's heat will vary more than geothermal, and therefore contribute more to flux.

Difference between flux linkage and flux leakage?

i) leakage flux is those flux which goes through the air and linkage flux is those flux whose go through the cell. ii)leakage flux is the loss at flux but linkage flu is warning flux. iii)leakage flux is cause of eddy current loss and linkage flux is case of copper loss.
