In this article, we will explore what a Heat Transfer certification is, why it is important, and how you can go about getting certified in Heat Transfer by Sanfoundry for free.
What is a Heat Transfer certification?
A Heat Transfer certification is a professional credential demonstrating an individual’s proficiency in Heat Transfer. The certified professional has in-depth knowledge of topics such as:
- application of heat conduction equations to different surface configurations under steady state and transient conditions.
- application of free and forced convective heat transfer correlations to internal and external flows through various surface configurations.
- phenomena of boiling and condensation, application of LMTD and NTU methods of thermal analysis.
- basic laws of radiation and application of these principles to radiative heat transfer between different types of surfaces.
- design and performance analysis of heat exchangers and their practical applications, condensation and boiling phenomena.
- familiarity with the mechanisms of heat transfer under steady and transient conditions.
- heat transfer through extended surfaces.
- thermal analysis and sizing of heat exchangers and the basic concepts of mass transfer.
- modes of heat transfer and application of basic laws to formulate engineering systems.
- application of the basic laws of heat transfer to the extended surface, composite material, and unsteady state heat transfer problems.
- analysis of heat conduction through numerical methods and applying the fundamental principle to solve radiation heat transfer problems.
