Heat Transfer Phenomena

This module overs the most important concepts and mechanisms of heat transfer. After successfully completing this module you should be able to: 1. Discuss the mechanisms of Heat Transfer; Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. 2. Analyse heat transfer problem, and 3. Assess various heat exchanger configurations and their maintenance issues.

The major contents covered in this module include: Introduction to heat transfer, Fundamentals of Conduction, steady and transient heat conduction, introduction to radiative heat transfer, convective heat transfer (forced convection and natural convection), Similarity theory and dimensionless numbers, and the design of heat exchangers.
