Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, & exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, & transfer of energy by phase changes. The objectives of heat transfer include the following: Insulation, wherein across a finite temperature difference between the system & its surrounding, the engineer seeks to reduce the heat transfer as much as possible. The learning outcomes of this course are: to explain the basics of heat transfer, to explain the importance of heat transfer, to define the concept of boiling & condensation, to define the concept of heat exchangers, to explain heat transfer by conduction, to explain the Fourier heat conduction law, to define thermal conductivity coefficient & diffusion coefficient, to explain heat  transfer with convection, to explain Newton’s law, to explain free transport phenomenon, to explain the forced convection, to explain heat transfer by radiation.

Pre-Requisites:
