Course Description 

Fundemental heat transfer followed by advanced conduction heat transfer. Emphasis on fundamental concepts of conduction/diffusion in heat and mass transfer including solving differential equations related to conduction. Apply scientific and engineering principles to analyze and design thermofluid aspects of engineering systems; use appropriate analytical and computational tools to investigate heat and mass transport phenomena; both competent and confident in interpreting results of investigations related to heat transfer, fluid flow, and thermal design; recognize the broad technological context  of heat transfer, especially related to energy technology.

Learning Outcomes :

  1. Derive analytical solutions to heat transfer problems
  2. Use analytical solutions to determine temperature distribution
  3. Analyze systems using the principles of conduction
  4. Apply numerical methods to solve heat transfer problems
  5. Enhance literature research and oral presentation skills Transfer
