About this subject
Only conduction is tested: Fourier's law, conduction mechanisms, the composite-wall numerical, and fins (efficiency vs effectiveness, fin equation). The composite-wall numerical is the fastest 8 marks. The shared ground with SVU JME-501 is only conduction basics (Fourier's law, conduction mechanism); SVU's radiation, LMTD and dimensional analysis questions do not appear here.
