Nature of Heat: Heat Transfer

The subject of Heat Transfer covers three fundamental methods: conduction, convection, and radiation. This course also delves into topics such as heat transfer in furnaces, understanding heat transfer rates, and exploring various types of heat exchangers. These include fixed shell-and-tube, U-tube, and floating head designs.

Target Audience

Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.

You Will Learn

Participants will learn how to:

• Describe the purpose, function, and principles of heat flow.
• Identify how heat is transferred by conduction.
• Identify how heat is transferred by convection.
• Identify how heat is transferred by radiation.
• Examine the main sections of a furnace and the flow paths through them.
• Identify the effect that temperature difference has on heat transfer.
• Identify the effects of thermal conductivity, area, length, and temperature difference on the rate of heat transfer by conduction.
• Identify the factors that affect heat transfer by radiation, including surface type and area, temperature difference, and radiation distance.
• Describe how flow rate and temperature difference affect the rate of heat transfer by convection.
• Identify the primary factors of heat transfer in heat exchangers.
• Identify the factors that decrease the rate of heat transfer, including film build-up, coke formation, and tube exposure.
