Theory of heat transfer by steady and transient conduction. Heat transfer by radiation. Convection of heat by fluid motion in external and internal flow. Combined heat transfer calculations.

To educate and train students to understand the basic concepts of heat transfer, and to enable them to perform engineering heat transfer calculations. This would include the ability to formulate conduction, convection, and radiation problems, and the ability to use simple analytical, computational, or correlation-based techniques to solve the resulting equations to obtain heat transfer rates.
