Heat Transfer
Third Year - B.S. Syllabus

Objectives
• To provide experience on testing, and analysis of heat transfer in various
Approaches

Course Description
This course covers fundamentals of heat transfer and applications to practical
problems in energy conversion and conservation. Emphasis will be on
developing a physical and analytical understanding of conductive, convective,
and radiative heat transfer, as well as heat transfer with phase change.
Students will develop an ability to apply governing principles and physical
intuition to solve problems.

Learning Outcomes
• Ability to demonstrate general knowledge of heat transfer [conduction,
convection, radiation].
• Ability to formulate and solve steady and unsteady problems in one or more
dimensions in different geometries with or without generation.
• Ability to construct simple models that capture the salient features of heat
transfer problems.
• Ability to design heat and mass transfer processes and equipment.
