Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.1.2 Overview Convection: mass and heat transport

Course subject(s) 3. Convection: mass and heat transport

Another form of heat transfer is convection, or in other words heat transport for which flow plays an important role. You will learn to understand the concept of forced and natural conduction and the difference between convection, conduction and diffusion. Furthermore, you will learn to calculate  with transfer coefficients for both heat and mass transfer problems. You also get acquainted with resistors.
