On completion of this module students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of heat transfer by applying the equations governing steady state heat conduction, convection and radiation to thermal problems.
2. Be able to solve 1-dimensional, steady state heat transfer problems involving convection and conduction through composite walls and pipes.
3. Analyse finned surfaces used to augment convection heat transfer.
4. Utilise experimental correlations in the analysis of convection heat transfer problems.
5. Analyse heat exchanger performance.
6. Understand the role of heat transfer in engineering applications.
