Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- The student will develop a fundamental and practical understanding of thermal energy transport.
- They will learn techniques required to analyse and design heat-transfer processes and systems.
- An important aspect will be the development of sound engineering judgement for recognition of salient heat-transfer issues and the capability to estimate quantitatively their effects.
