Objectives To (a) develop a good understanding of the fundamental heat transfer modes of conduction, convection and radiation, and basic mass transfer by diffusion and convection, (b) be able to derive the governing differential or integral equations describing heat and mass transfer by applying the basic principles of conversation of mass, momentum and energy, (c) become competent using rational scaling arguments in the simplification of the governing equations for engineering problems, (d) be able to derive rational mathematical models for engineering problems in heat and mass transfer, (e) apply known mathematical skills and numerical methods to solve simplified forms of the governing equations and (f) be able to critically interpret analytical and numerical solutions in terms of the physical engineering system.
