This interactive online course is designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of heat transfer and the basic operation of a typical heat exchanger. We will describe the effects of a temperature difference on heat transfer and the three modes of heat transfer. We will also explain the basic operation of a shell and tube heat exchanger and identify problems that can occur in a heat exchanger
