In this course you will explore the natural
mechanisms of heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation. The
most basic learning objectives are listed below, and detailed learning
objectives are given in the reviews for each exam
To recognize the relevant modes of heat
transfer that occur in industrial, environmental, and biological processes
To express rates of heat transfer via
different mechanisms using the appropriate mathematical expressions
To apply conservation of energy requirements
to determine rates of energy transfer and temperature distributions in
various systems
To apply the method of
resistance analysis in solving heat transfer problems
To analyze the rate of heat transfer from
extended surfaces
To calculate individual heat transfer
coefficients inside pipes and outside bodies using correlations or
material and energy balances.
To calculate overall heat transfer
coefficients from individual heat transfer coefficients or material and
energy balances
