Rationale for the inclusion of Heat and Mass transfer is one of the core courses for students undertaking Bach. of
the course/module in the Mechanical Eng. (Hons). The real-world examples presented in this course intend to provide a
programme: feel of how heat transfer is applied in engineering practice.

This course focuses on the application of Fourier’s law in conduction, Newton’s law of cooling
in convection and Stefan-Boltzmann law in radiation. Analysis of heat exchanger using both
Synopsis : the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) method and the effectiveness method (e-NTU)
are instituted. Presented Fick’s law of diffusion for medium consisting of two mediums in mass
transfer.
At the end of this course students should be able to:

CLO 1: Analyze characteristics of steady state heat conduction in common

geometries (PLO 2).
Course Learning outcomes CLO 2: Apply various techniques to solve convection problems (PLO 2).
(CLO) : CLO 3: Analyze various properties and characteristics involved in radiation heat
transfer (PLO 2).
CLO 4 : Evaluate different heat exchanger designs (PLO 2).
CLO 5 : Develop analogy between heat and mass transfer (PLO 2).
CLO 6 : Communicate and work in a team effectively via experiments (PLO 9)
