Overall Educational Objective To learn the fundamentals of heat transfer mechanisms and their practical applications.
Course Description This course provides a comprehensive introduction to some fundamental aspects of heat transfer and their applications to engineering problems. The following topics are covered: Heat transfer mechanisms. The general heat conduction equation. Steady one-dimensional heat conduction. Thermal resistance networks. Steady heat conduction in cylinders and spheres. Heat transfer from finned surfaces. Transient heat conduction in lumped systems. Fundamentals of convection. The velocity and thermal boundary layers. Dimensionless numbers and similarity. Forced convection in external and internal flows. Natural Convection. Fundamentals of thermal radiation. Black body radiation and the Stefan-Boltzmann law. Emissivity, absorptivity and reflectivity of surfaces. Kirchoff laws. Heat transfer by radiation. The view factor. Radiation heat transfer from black, gray and diffuse surfaces.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Distinguish the appropriate heat transfer mechanisms, and to apply the fundamental laws of conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer;
2) Solve steady one-dimensional heat conduction problems by thermal resistance networks;
3) Estimate transient heat transfer rates in lumped systems;
4) Select and use the appropriate correlations for forced and natural convection in evaluating the heat transfer coefficient;
5) Apply radiation laws to calculate the heat transfer rate from black, gray and diffuse surfaces.
