The aim of the course is to provide students with a competence to analyze heat transfer problems in engineering applications

At the end of the course,
1.Students understand the different modes of heat transfer and their applications.
2. As a result of validation analyses using FEM, students will learn how to model heat transfer problems on COMSOL Multiphysics FEM software
3. Students will also be able to model time based (transient) heat transfer problems based on the Lumped sum capacitance method that has a wide applications in engineering design, cooling analysis and more
4. The students will understand convection heat transfer coefficient analysis within thermal boundary layers and conduct analysis of local and average heat transfer coefficients
5. Students will understand basics of radiation and analyses problems on solar radiation

1.Introduction on the three modes of heat transfer
2.Relation of heat transfer to first law of thermodynamics (Conservation of Energy)
3.Using FEM in heat transfer analysis (ComSol)
4.One-dimensional conduction in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates
5.Thermal resistance in plane walls and concentric pipes
6.Fundamentals in transient conduction (one-dimension)
7.Convection and thermal boundary layer
8.Introduction to radiation
