Syllabus
Laws of conduction, convection and radiation solution for some ideal geometries, Heat flow paths in series and parallel. Insulation systems – solid, foam, fiber, powder, vacuum and multi-layer insulation. Design of insulation systems. Conductive heat flow devices – fins, heat sinks etc. Convective heat transfer and flow friction phenomena co-relations. Heat exchangers –their classification based on flow direction and construction geometry. Design of Shell & Tube, Plate fin, Matrix and other types of heat exchangers use of TEMA codes. Design of heat exchangers for automotive, refrigeration, cryogenic and chemical process plants. Heat exchangers with phase change. Regenerative heat exchangers – dual regenerators as continuous heat exchangers, single regenerators in cryogenic devices. Radiation coolers, heat transfer in vacuum cryopumps – their structure and design cryogenic storage vessels – their structure and insulation system design.
