Course Overview
This programme is a pan-India initiative by SWAYAM, an offering provided by the Indian Government focusing on the realisation of the three basic principles of education policy-quality, fairness, and access through various online education programs for poor students across the country. In order to bring each student the best teaching resources, this course makes up for the digital scarcity faced by students so far and trains them to use online education models for education.
For chemical engineering students, the Certification Programme on Heat Transfer is a basic course on heat transfer which is also important for disciplines such as nanotechnology and mechanical engineering. This course starts with basic concepts and control equations, involves basics and applications, and gradually develops into the design of related industrial units. It will enable students to understand core scientific problems and encourage them to solve problems on their own.
The basic concepts will enhance students' lateral thinking ability and integrate the concerned concepts seamlessly for them to utilise in many processes and problems related to heat transfer. The learning can be deployed in related industries including all chemical processing industries, solar and nuclear energy, thermal energy, as well as industries having such plant designs.
