Course Overview
The programme has been designed and structured as an introductory course for making the registered students understand the fundamental concepts that are involved in the subject of heat transfer convection and conduction. The subject of “heat transfer” has a multidisciplinary application and hence will prove to be of importance to the students who belong from the stream of - Mechanical Engineering and Energy Systems.
The session on Conduction and Convection Heat Transfer by Swayam lays more emphasis on the underlying concept of convection of heat transfer. The course creates a balance by providing equal knowledge on physical concepts as well as the mathematical concepts that are related to heat balance. All the modules in the course have been explained well with proper examples and explanations for a more easy understanding of the students.
The Conduction and Convection Heat Transfer certification syllabus thus over the period of twelve weeks will help the students make up a strong base in the domain of heat transfer.
