Scope
The three modes of heat transfer, conduction, convection, and radiation, are studied in detail and applications are made to various engineering systems. The principles of conduction and convection are used to study the mechanisms of heat transfer during condensation and the design and operation of heat exchangers. Students are introduced to the use of the computer to solve engineering heat transfer design problems.
