Course Objective

The importance of such a such a course arose from flow associated engineering applications. In addition to heat transfer in laminar and turbulent flows the subject of convective heat transfer also covers phase change problems like boiling and condensation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to understand heat transfer around single and two dimensional bodies
2   Ability to solve similarity solutions for energy equation according to Mach number
3   Ability to use integral method in thermal and flow boundary layer problems.
4   Ability to understand forced convection around two-dimensional bodies and solve its problem.
5   Ability to understand natural convection and solve its problem.
