Heat transfer is something I've been interested in since studying thermodynamics last semester, although during the course we never really covered anything much to do with what affected heat transfer. I can pretty easily understand that obviously having a higher surface area to exchange across, temperature differentials and the time to which it is exposed will all affect the rate of transfer - but what else is there [if anything]?
Does what the material consists of or the shape of the material [other than to maximise contact with the thermal body] affect it?
Thanks for any insight =)
