Course Purpose and Objectives: • Introduction to heat transfer phenomena so that students familiarize with the basic principles and governing equations.
• Understanding the physical mechanisms of Heat Transfer in a variety of applications.
• Recognition of heat transfer phenomena in practical problems, including analysis design and solution methods.
 
Learning Outcomes: 1) Analyse, measure and report thermal properties such as expansion coefficients, thermal conductivity and capacity
2) Estimate the relative importance of different modes of heat transfer
3) Identify different modes of heat transfer with different engineering problems
4) Draw equivalent thermal circuits and estimate heat transfer rates
5) Apply the laws of heat transfer to analyse and evaluate heat transfer rates with conduction and convection
6) Solve practical problems involving heat transfer problems including conduction, convection and radiation
7) Review the importance of dimensionless groups in heat transfer and calculate heat transfer rates using empirical correlations
