1. Course Description: The course contents include fundamental concepts of heat transfer; steady state
and unsteady state heat conduction; analytical and empirical relations for forced and free convection
heat transfer; heat exchangers; boiling and condensation; heat transfer by radiation; introduction to
mass transfer; associated laboratory.
2. Scope and Objective of The course: This course is designed to make the students familiarize with
the concepts of heat transfer and its applications. As a part of this course, students have to do the
experiments to correlate theoretical knowledge with the experimental results. The specific objectives
of this course is to understand the fundamental and subsidiary laws of heat transfer, formulate
governing equations for specific heat transfer systems, identify suitable solution methods, develop
the basic problem-solving skills, and analyze the results to develop useful inferences.
