Convection

Concept of heat transfer by convection – Natural and forced convection – Application of dimensional analysis for convection – Equations for forced convection under laminar, transition and turbulent conditions – Equations for natural convection – Heat transfer from condensing vapours, heat transfer to boiling liquids – Influence of boundary layer on heat transfer – Heat transfer to molten metals – Heat transfer in packed and fluidised beds.

Heat Exchangers

Parallel and counter flow heat exchangers – Log mean temperature difference – Single pass and multipass heat exchangers; plate heat exchangers; use of correction factor charts; heat exchangers effectiveness; number of transfer unit – Chart for different configurations – Fouling factors and wilson’s plot – Design of various types of heat exchangers – Design of furnaces – Design of condensers, – Design of tubular reactors.

Radiation

Concept of thermal radiations – Black body concept – Stefan Boltsman’s law -concept of grey body – radiation between surfaces.

Evaporation

Types of evaporation – single effect and multiple effect evaporation – Design calculation for single and multiple effect evaporation.
