Heat transfer is of great importance not only in chemical engineering, but in all branches of engineering. Its study is fundamental to understand and predict the thermal behaviour of a system, especially when heat must be supplied or removed from it. This study is of transcendental importance for the Chemical Industry, since most of the industrial processes as well as the associated basic operations involve heat transfer. Thus, a Chemical Engineer, as a professional in the Chemical Industry, must know perfectly the different mechanisms of heat transfer and calculate different coefficients in different situations that allow the design of heat exchangers, as well as know all the typical instrumentation related to heat transfer and its related basic operations.
