What I said was that it is a different subject, I showed you a course offerings that prove it, you laughed because it was only conductive heat transfer. So I guess it can be divided into separate subjects as well.

I laughed because you don't understand what hierarchy is. There are a number of different methods of Accounting (Cash accounting, Fund Accounting, etc). We say these are all part of accounting. You can take entire college classes on specific methods of accounting. But you don't claim they are a "separate subject" from accounting. They are still part of the field of Accounting.

In the same manner all of Heat Transfer is part of Thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is the science of all heat related processes. There are all sorts of subsets in Thermodynamics (gas, solids, engines, jet engines, rocket engines, etc) and every one has much detailed knowledge and methods worked out and you can most likely get Phds in any one of them. But they are all under thermodynamics and all are derived from the Laws of Thermodynamics.
