Advanced Heat TransferHeat conduction - basic law, governing equations in differential form, solution methods, steady state, unsteady state problems-fins, moving boundaries. Convective heat transfer - conservation equations, boundary layer approximations. Forced convective laminar and turbulent flow solutions. Natural convection solutions, correlations. Radiation heat transfer mechanism; properties; exchange between black and non black surfaces, condensation - mechanism, controlling parameters. Nusselt Theory; solution to laminar film modifications, influence of other parameters, correlations for single horizontal tube, vertical bank of horizontal tubes, other configurations. Dropwise condensation. Boiling mechanisms regimes. Basic models, correlations. Mass Transfer- governing laws, transfer coefficients; application. Heat exchangers. Design principles.E.R.G.
