Prerequisite Thermodynamics, Thermal engineering

This course is to introduced,
1. To understand the mechanisms of heat transfer under steady and
transient conditions.
Objectives
2. To understand the concepts of heat transfer through extended surfaces.
3. To learn the thermal analysis and sizing of heat exchangers and to
understand the basic concepts of mass transfer.
After completion of the course the student will
CO1: explain the mechanism of different modes of heat transfer and the
mathematical treatment of conduction heat transfer in 1D, 2D and 3D
heat flow systems both in steady and unsteady states.
Expected CO2: analyze the convective heat (both free and forced) transfer due to flow
Outcome over different solids and through pipes.
CO3: Explain the principle and analysis of radiation heat transfer.
CO4: Explain the phenomenon of phase change heat transfer and design of
heat exchangers.
CO5: Explain the phenomenon of diffusion mass transfer and its analysis.
