Objectives
An initial approach to Heat Transfer is presented from the point of view of the Mechanical Engineer. The application examples address situations encountered by Mechanical Engineers in their daily work. Previous concepts are reviewed, and the contents of the course aim to provide a solid foundation for subsequent courses.
