Preface:
This file contains notes on Mathcad Functions
for Natural (or, free) convection heat transfer
calculations. Some problems are also included.
These notes were prepared while teaching Heat
Transfer course to the M.Tech. students in
Mechanical Engineering Dept. of St. Joseph
Engineering College, Vamanjoor, Mangalore,
India.
It is hoped that these notes will be useful to
teachers, students, researchers and
professionals working in this field.
For students, it should be particularly useful to
study, review the subject and solve the home-
work problems.
