Course Objectives

This course assumes that the students have undergone UG courses in Engineering
Mathematics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics.
.
1. To impart the basic and an advanced level of understanding of the various modes of
heat transfer and different kinds of mechanisms that influence heat transfer.;
2. The purpose of this course is to develop correlations on the basis of
fundamental transport laws governing heat/mass transfer
3. The treatment is highly mathematical and, through assignments, students are
expected to formulate and solve problems to derive expressions for the heat/mass
transfer coefficient in different situations
4. Computer assisted data acquisition, data manipulation and presentation

Syllabus

Unsteady conduction, 2D steady conduction and phase change problems, Numerical


solution of conduction problems, Introduction to free and forced convection, Laminar flow
heat transfer, Turbulent flow heat transfer, Analogy methods, emperical correlation, Mixed
Convection, Introduction to radiation, View factors, Enclosure analysis, gas radiation, mass
transfer

Expected Outcome

1. The students will be able to analyses a real life situation involving heat transfer
and would be able to design a thermal system
2. They will be in a position to trouble shoot the problems in a thermal system and
able to suggest methods to improve the performance of the system..
3. The course will interest students wishing to embark on a research career in
heat/mass transfer
