Question

We have been learning Heat Transfer for the whole semester and now are close to the end.  A good way to help you review all the topics and contents we've learned is to describe in your words how do you analyze or solve a general heat transfer problem. You may use a flow chart or write down a paragraph to describe the general methodology to solve heat transfer problems. For example, given a problem, the first thing is to determine whether this problem is on Conduction, Convection, or Radiation? If it is conduction, then is it steady-state or transient? If steady-state,...If transient,...

Please describe in your words how do you analyze or solve a general heat transfer problem.
