INTRODUCTION:
This course will give an overview of the fundamental concepts of heat transfer and fluid flow as they apply to diverse engineering applications. Examples from common engineering practice will be used to demonstrate and illustrate the principles of flow calculation in piping systems and oil and gas pipelines. There will be an explanation of the flow in various types of pumps, compressors, turbines, and other turbo-machines.The issues with heat transmission that arise in heat exchangers, boilers, and condensers will also be covered in the course. The topic of radiation heat transfer will also include solar radiation and a number of related applications. The training will cover modern measuring methods for flow and heat transfer as well as heat transfer augmentation strategies. To demonstrate the calculation methods for heat transfer as they are used in regular engineering practice, many real-world examples of heat transfer problems will be chosen and solved.
