Learning Outcomes of the course unit	By the end of the course, the students should be able to: Estimate the rate of heat transfer and temperature distribution in heat conduction problems using different techniques. Solve fundamental problems of non-Newtonian flow, describe basic non-Newtonian flow characteristics and analyse simple flows Develop a flow pattern map and calculate the two-phase frictional pressure drop with various methods Perform thermal and hydraulic design of total condensers Solve boiling and condensation heat transfer problems using the appropriate correlations Calculate concentration distribution in steady and unsteady mass transfer, such as evaporation and chemical reaction problems Define the Binary Mass-Transfer coefficient associated with a multicomponent system in one phase
