The study of heat transfer analysis is of great importance to engineers because of its almost
universal occurrence in many branches of science & engineering. The subject will introduce the
detailed analysis of conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer. It will also explain the
different kinds of heat exchangers and their analysis.
