Heat Transfer is an advanced course which adopts a rigorous mathematical approach to the formulation and analysis of complex engineering problems in conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer. Students will be given an introduction to the Navier-Stokes, Continuity and Energy Equations, but emphasis is placed on the understanding of the physical principles involved and the adoption of compromises in seeking engineering solutions. These studies are supplemented by the use of commercial computational software to solve a range of typical engineering problems, and a computer-based mini-project is undertaken. There will be 4 hours of work concentrated on the design and operation of industrial heat transfer equipment.
