This course provides the basic understanding of heat transfer principles and their application in design of heat exchangers.
At the end of the course, the participants will be able to;
- Understand modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation) and associated vocabulary.
Solve problems of different modes of heat transfer.
- Identify different types of heat exchangers.
- Apply the heat transfer principles in the design of heat exchangers.
- Test the validity of theoretical concepts learned in laboratory experiments.
- Definition of heat transfer, physical origins and rate equations, conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer.
- Steady State Conduction (One Dimension): Plane wall, temperature distribution, thermal resistance, composite wall.
- Transient Conduction.
- Free and forced Convection.
- Boiling and Condensation.
- Heat Exchangers: Heat exchanger types by flow arrangement and by construction, overall heat transfer coefficient
- Experiment on Heat Transfer and Study of Heat Exchangers.
- Technician and supervisors responsible for inspection and maintenance of heat transfer units and heat exchangers.
