Learn about Conduction, Convection, Radiation and Heat exchangers in a most comprehensive and interactive way. Derivations of formulas, concepts, Numerical, examples are inculcated in the course with advance applications. The course aims at covering all the topics and concepts of HMT as per academics of students. Following are the topics (in detail) that will be covered in the course.
Conduction
- Thermal conductivity, Heat conduction in gases, Interpretation Of Fourier's law, Electrical analogy of heat transfer, Critical radius of insulation, Heat generation in a slab and cylinder, Fins, Unsteady/Transient conduction
Convection
- Forced convection heat transfer, Reynold’s Number, Prandtl Number, Nusselt Number, Incompressible flow over flat surface, HBL, TBL, Forced convection in flow through pipes and ducts, Free/Natural convection
Heat Exchangers
- Types of heat exchangers, First law of thermodynamics, Classification of heat exchangers, LMTD for parallel and counter flow, NTU, Fouling factor
Radiation
- Absorbtivity, Reflectivity, Transmitivity, Laws of thermal radiation, Shape factor, Radiation heat exchange
" Also, the first two lectures are FREE previews. This above syllabus has been discussed there as well a preliminary idea of various modes of heat transfer is also discussed." Do watch them first prior to joining the course.

There are three modes of heat transfer namely conduction, convection and radiation.
Conduction : Conduction refers to the heat transfer that occurs across the medium. Medium can be solid or a fluid.
Convection : Convection refers to the heat transfer that will occur between a surface and a moving fluid when they are at different temperatures.
Radiation : In radiation, in the absence of intervening medium, there is net heat transfer between two surfaces at different temperatures in the form of electromagnetic waves.
