Abstract
This Course Handout serves as a comprehensive introduction to heat transfer, tailored for undergraduate mechanical engineering students specializing in mechanical construction. It adheres to the official academic curriculum and emphasizes the fundamental principles and mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Structured into three chapters, the course begins with a general overview of three heat transfer modes, accompanied by practical examples to simplify understanding. Subsequent chapters delve into steady-state one-dimensional conduction with detailed equations for various geometries, followed by an exploration of free and forced convection, including methods for calculating fluxes and key correlations. The final chapter addresses heat transfer by radiation, introducing black body concepts, radiative surface properties, and radiation in semi-transparent media. The course is enriched with solved exercises and appendices containing essential thermophysical data, providing students with practical tools to master theoretical concepts and apply them effectively in engineering contexts.
