multiple
choice questions, addressing the understanding of heat transfer
mechanisms and their interplay.
three
applied problems, covering the mechanisms of conduction, convection, and
radiation. Each question will focus on a particular heat transfer
mechanism but may overlap with others (e.g. thermal radiation from an
object which is also subjected to convection). |
