TEXTBOOK: Holman, J.P., Heat Transfer, 10th ed., McGraw-Hill, 2002.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To study the fundamental theories and designs of heat transfer processes used in chemical process industries, including the design and rating of heat transfer equipment, heat generation and energy management systems.
TOPICS:
1. Basic modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation
2. One-dimensional heat conduction, steady-state
3. Unsteady-state one-dimensional heat conduction
4. Systems with heat generation
5. Combined conductive-convective heat transfer
6. Theory and design of heat exchangers
7. Computer design of heat exchangers, computer assignment using BJack and Aspen
8. Condensation and condenser design
9. Evaporation and boiler design
10.
Heat recovery systems and heat-exchanger
networks
