Learning Outcomes
1) To extend the basic knowledge acquired in the introduction to heat transfer course and relate it to more advanced/practical application.
2) To identify the relevance of numerical methods in solving multidimensional and transient heat conduction problems.
3) To acquire a better insight into convection heat transfer mechanisms such as natural convection and boiling/condensation heat transfer.
4) To acquire essential knowledge for the design and sizing of a heat exchanger, which is one the most practical and interesting application of heat transfer.
5) To develop some understanding of radiation exchange between mulitple surfaces, which is a primary quantity of interest in most radiation problem.
