MET 3125Heat Transfer with Lab

Catalog

Prerequisite: PHY 2311 with a grade of C or better. The three basic mechanisms of heat transmission are studied. Conduction, convection (free and forced), and radiant transmission are treated for both steady-state and transient conditions. The transient study is aided by computer solutions. The laboratory component provides experimental results for various conduction and convection tests. The student selects and installs thermocouples, calibrates equipment, records transient and steady-state data, analyzes results, compares data to theoretical predictions, and reports findings.
