Learn about conduction, convection, radiation, and heat exchangers in a comprehensive and interactive way. The course includes derivations of formulas, concepts, numerical examples, and advanced applications. It aims to cover all topics and concepts of Heat and Mass Transfer (HMT) relevant to academic curricula. The detailed topics covered in the course are as follows:

Conduction

• Thermal conductivity, Heat conduction in gases, Interpretation Of Fourier's law, Electrical analogy of heat transfer, Critical radius of insulation, Heat generation in a slab and cylinder, Fins, Unsteady/Transient conduction.

Convection

• Forced convection heat transfer, Reynold’s Number, Prandtl Number, Nusselt Number, Incompressible flow over flat surface, HBL, TBL, Forced convection in flow through pipes and ducts, Free/Natural convection.

Heat Exchangers

• Types of heat exchangers, First law of thermodynamics, Classification of heat exchangers, LMTD for parallel and counter flow, NTU, Fouling factor.

Radiation

• Absorbtivity, Reflectivity, Transmitivity, Laws of thermal radiation, Shape factor, Radiation heat exchange
