Course Overview

Convective Heat Transfer online programme aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of convection. Convection is a significant form of heat transfer linked to fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Swayam and IIT Roorkee have collaborated and designed this free short-term course for students interested in learning about convective heat transfer.

Moreover, the Convective Heat Transfer certification belongs to the ‘Mechanical Engineering' subject category and is an elective course. The course can be finished in four weeks. The curriculum goes into detail to explain mass transfer analogies and phase change heat transfer. You can also learn the fundamental concepts with the help of mathematical examples, derivations and weekly assignments.

Furthermore, the Convective Heat Transfer training will help you earn a course certificate after finishing all the modules in four weeks. There are three criteria to obtain a soft copy of the certificate that NPTEL can verify. The certificate will carry the logo of IIT Roorkee.

Eligibility Criteria

To participate in the Convective Heat Transfer by Swayam, you must have prior knowledge about thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Certificate Qualifying Details

The procedure to gain the Convective Heat Transfer certificate requires you to submit all four assignments and qualify for the final proctored exam with a valid score. You need the average assignment score to be a minimum of 10/25 and an exam score of at least 30/75.

To be eligible for the certificate, you require a final score of 40/100. To obtain a certificate, you need to complete all three qualifications.

What you will learn

Knowledge of engineering

Convective Heat Transfer programme by Swayam will comprehensively explain these concepts:

Various convective modes
Deriving thermal energy equation
Forced convection
Balancing total energy
Mass transfer and phase change
Heat transfer with phase change

Who it is for

Convective Heat Transfer by Swayam is intended for students pursuing bachelor courses in Mechanical engineering, Chemical engineering or Aerospace Engineering. Mid-level managers working in related industries will also find this course beneficial.

Evaluation process

The Convective Heat Transfer certification exam is held after the course conclusion for those who wish to get the course certificate. Unlike the course, the proctored exam is held in person in multiple exam centres. The Convective Heat Transfer exam will be held in two separate shifts in the morning and afternoon. The exam is mandatory but is not the only criteria for the certificate as you must also submit and score well in the four assignments. You can find more information about the offline exam after you submit the online application form.
