Course Objective This course provides a comprehensive study of convective heat transfer, focusing on the fundamentals of fluid flow, energy transport, and boundary layer theory. Both forced and natural convection are examined in detail, with emphasis on governing equations, similarity analysis, and engineering correlations. Applications to internal and external flows are highlighted to prepare students for solving real-world thermal problems.

Course Schedule Week 1 : Overview of heat transfer Week 2 : Introduction to convective heat transfer Week 3 : Governing equations I: conversation of mass and momentum Week 4 : Governing equations II: energy transport Week 5 : Boundary layer theory I: velocity boundary layer Week 6 : Boundary layer theory II: thermal boundary layer Week 7 : Similarity solutions for laminar boundary layers Week 8 : Midterm exam Week 9 : Heat transfer over flat plate Week 10 : Sucking and Blowing on flat plate Week 11 : Pipe flow Week 12 : Heat transfer of pipe flow Week 13 : Natural convection I: vertical surface Week 14 : Natural convection II: horizontal surface Week 15 : Transition to turbulence Week 16 : Turbulent boundary layer flow Week 17 : Heat transfer in turbulent boundary layer flow Week 18 : Final exam
