It is aimed at students who desire a fundamental understanding of the subject and provides them with the ability of solving engineering problems related to heat transfer. Part I, consisting of Lectures 1 and 2, provides a brief overview of the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. Dimensions and units of various quantities, the fundamental laws, and the role that energy balance plays in addressing heat transfer problems are also covered in these lectures. Part II, consisting of Lectures 3 through 11, deals with conduction heat transfer. Steady and unsteady one- and multi-dimensional heat conduction are covered, as well as the concept of thermal resistances, heat sources and fins. Part III consists of Lectures 12 through 25 and deals with convection heat transfer. Basic concepts, such as the boundary layer approximation, non-dimensionalization and similarity, as well as topics on laminar and turbulent internal and external flows in forced and free convection are covered. Part IV, consisting of Lectures 26 through 31, deals with the subject of thermal radiation, including the physics and geometry of radiation, blackbody radiation, solar radiation, and radiation exchange. Offering a concise overview of the most critical concepts of heat transfer, the volume is ideal for those new to the field or requiring a refresher.
