Introduction
Heat transfer is a basic course for mechanical, chemical, metallurgical and aerospace engineering students at the undergraduate level. It is classified as conduction, convection and radiation and plays a significant role in most engineering applications. Concepts of heat transfer are applied at the design stage, as well as evaluating performance of various engineering equipments. Heat exchangers, electronic chip cooling, furnaces, casting and foundry, turbine blade cooling, automobile engine cooling, are some of the applications of heat transfer.
IIT Bombay, had conducted workshops, and trained teachers all over India through remote centres. The lectures were transmitted live, and were received at various remote centres across the country, through synchronous distance mode, along with the interaction of participants. The video, presentations, and downloads offered here will help students; teachers and working professionals learn and master the subject.
