This module presents the principles and concepts that underlie heat and mass transfer within the broad discipline of Engineering. It allows learners to develop confidence in applying contemporary methods to practical problems. Proficiency in mathematics, including calculus, is assumed, as is familiarity with properties of substances. The level of the module is intermediate to advanced.
