Statement Of Course Objectives

• Obtain a thorough understanding of the subject of Convective Heat Transfer.
• Prepare the student to solve practical convective heat transfer problems.
• Impart adequate convective heat transfer knowledge to solve open ended related engineering problems.
• Lay the foundation for the student to design heat exchangers later.

Course Learning Outcomes

At the completion of the course students will be able to:

• Develop a deep physical understanding of the subject of Convective Heat Transfer
• Seek mathematical solutions (complete and integral) to convective heat transfer problems that involve a variety of boundary conditions in laminar flows.
• Attack turbulent heat transfer problems using turbulent Prandtl number and other relevant concepts.
• Establish the cooling requirements of and potential methods to achieve them for modern electronic systems.
• Solve some industrial heat transfer problems.
• Apply the knowledge to heat exchanger design.
