Goals: To familiarize the students with basic modes of heat transfer, appreciate
the physical principles and basic concepts underlying the transfer of
heat by conduction , convection and radiation . To present the
methodology required to solve problems to be encountered in actual
practice, To introduce the student to the design of heat exchange
equipment, familiarizing the student with the concept of temperature
measurement equipment, fins and heat pipe.
Topics to be covered:
1-Introduction and mechanisms of heat transfer (2 classes).
2-Steady state heat transfer by conduction. (8 classes)
3-Individual coefficients of heat transfer, overall coefficients, scale
resistance, mean temperature difference for parallel, counter-current
and mixed flow arrangements. (6 classes)
4- Heat Transfer correlation in convection ( development by dimensional
analysis ) and its different forms for different actual situation such as
heating and cooling inside tubes in turbulent, transition and laminar
flow, heating and cooling outside tubes and tube bundles, heat transfer
in agitate vessels. (6 classes )
5-Natural convection . (3 classes )
6-Radiation through non- absorbing and absorbing media. (6 classes )
7-Heat transfer with change equipment design. (4 classes )
8-Application to heat exchange equipment design . ( 5 classes )
