When a particle is subjected to an unsteady ambient flow, in terms of either time-dependent relative velocity or time-dependent temperature difference, the net heat transfer from the particle cannot be calculated based on the quasi-steady heat transfer correlation alone. Due to unsteady evolution of the thermal boundary layer, there is also a history contribution to heat transfer. The history contribution to heat transfer is expressed as a convolution integral of past evolution of temperature difference between the particle and the surrounding. While Basset history force and its finite Reynolds number extension have been well studied, similar understanding of unsteady heat transfer and thermal history kernel is lacking. Here, we use existing particle-resolved simulation results to develop a finite Peclet number thermal history kernel, which when used with the convolution integral is demonstrated to accurately predict unsteady heat transfer over a range of Peclet numbers and particle-to-fluid heat capacity ratio.
