This course deals with the principal concepts and methods of heat transfer. The objectives of this subject are to develop the fundamental principles and laws of heat transfer and to explore the implications of these principles for system behavior; to formulate the models necessary to study, analyze and design heat transfer systems through the application of these principles; to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice of heat transfer in real-world applications.

This course aims to set a foundation for the entire MSES programme by providing conceptual and practical knowledge on both renewable and non-renewable energy systems for exploitation through appropriate technologies. Starting from a discussion of the importance of energy and the fundamentals of energy sources (renewable and non-renewable), the course explores different types of energy systems, with emphasis on renewable energy in the electricity supply industry, culminating in concepts of demand-side management and energy efficiency.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the course, students will, through assessment activities, show evidence of their ability to:
· Describe relationships between Energy Systems and the Sustainable Development Goals
· Discuss the fundamental features of energy sources (both renewable and non-renewable) and their associated environmental impacts.
· Describe the Namibian electrical power system and the role of renewable energy technologies in resolving the World Energy Council’s energy trilemma.
· Assessment techniques for renewable energy resources.
· Explain the concepts of power system demand-side management and energy efficiency
- Perform design calculations for selected renewable energy systems.
