Heat Transfer for Interviews (6 Hours Mini-Course)

Heat Transfer is one of the most frequently tested subjects in chemical engineering interviews. From fundamentals to equipment design, recruiters check not only your theoretical knowledge but also how well you can apply it to practical cases like heat exchangers, condensers, and cooling equipment.

This 6-hour mini-course is built to give you interview-ready mastery of Heat Transfer.

🌟 What’s Included

• 🎥 3 × 2-Hour Recorded Lectures – covering the subject in a structured, easy-to-follow manner.
• 📑 60-Page Notes PDF – comprehensive, well-organised notes to revise quickly before interviews.

📌 Topics Covered (with Interview Focus)

• Modes of Heat Transfer (Conduction, Convection, Radiation) – the foundation of most interview questions.
• Conduction – Fourier’s Law, steady vs. unsteady state, Biot number, lumped heat capacity.
• Convection – Newton’s Law, heat transfer coefficient, dimensionless numbers (Nu, Pr, Re, Gr), Dittus–Boelter vs. Sieder–Tate correlations.
• Radiation – black/grey/white bodies, emissivity, view factors, Stefan–Boltzmann & Wien’s law.
• Heat Exchangers – types (double pipe, plate & frame, spiral, air-cooled, shell & tube), design considerations, advantages & disadvantages.
• Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger Design – LMTD vs. AMTD, passes, baffles, tube pitch, pressure drop, fluid allocation.
• Kern’s Method – step-by-step design calculation explained through examples.
• TEMA Standards – common configurations (fixed head, U-tube, floating head).

💡 Why Take This Course?

• Focus on interview-relevant topics that are most frequently asked.
• Learn both concepts and practical design insights.
• Get access to structured notes + recordings that you can revisit anytime.

👉 By the end of this course, you’ll have clear, confident answers for every heat transfer question that comes up in interviews – whether theoretical or design-based.
