Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about classical heat transfer including natural convection, forced convection and radiation
• Have knowledge about condensing, evaporation and boiling
• Be able to understand the governing mechanisms in the abovementioned processes
• Have an understanding of heat exchanger or cooling of electronic equipment

Skills

• Be able to use fundamental heat conduction, transient heat conduction or numerical heat conduction in analysis and design of a thermal problem
• Be able to calculate heat flux, stationary as well as transient, in multiple dimensions and complex geometries
