COURSE OUTLINE

HEAT TRANSFER

ChE 324.3 (Winter - Term 2/2015-2016)

*********************************************************************

A. Course Instructor

Dr. Ajay K. Dalai (Engg. 1C114)

B. Course Objectives:

To understand and learn the physical mechanisms that underlie the three modes of
heat transfer processes. These modes are conduction, convention and radiation.
Emphasis will be placed to quantify the amount of energy in transit, on the design of
heat transfer equipments, and on the industrial and environmental problems involving
heat transfer processes.

C. Textbook Required:

Bergman, T.L.; Lavine, A.S.; Incropera, F.P. and DeWitt, D.P., Fundamentals of
Heat and Mass Transfer, John Wiley and Sons, Seventh Edition (2011).

D. Grading:

Problem assignments will be graded by a graduate teaching assistant. All

examinations will be graded by Dr. A.K. Dalai. Final marks will be based on the
followings:

Problem Assignments 25%

Mid-term Examination 25%
Final Examination 50%

TOTAL 100%

The mark distribution is only approximate. Final grades will be assigned at the
discretion of the instructor subject to the University Council and College Regulations
on Examinations.
