Advanced Heat Transfer

Catalog description

An advanced treatment of conduction and convection from a theoretical perspective. Topics include: conservation of linear momentum in integral and differential forms; steady state and transient conduction; boundary layer flows with emphasis on laminar conditions; scale analysis; forced and natural convection; internal and external flows; fundamentals of radiative exchange between surfaces and relationship to problems of environmental importance (e.g., global climate change); numerical simulation to solve conduction and convection problems.
