Heat Transfer
The transfer of heat is an integral part of many industrial processes. Moreover, heat transfer affects our everyday lives – from an oven heating our dinner to the wind cooling us on a hot summer day. Thus, it is important that the engineer understands how to apply the basic principles of heat transfer to solve real-world problems.
In this 4-hour online course, background information on the principles of heat transfer is presented in detail. The training materials include a thorough review of the three modes of heat transfer – conduction, convection, and radiation.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions to earn 4 PDH credit.
Learning Objectives
This course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
