Thermal Science for Biomedical Engineering. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: MATH 112 , PHYS 111 , CHEM 126 , BME 111 . Corequisites: MATH 211 or MATH 213 . Thermal Science is the field of study that includes aspects of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and mass transport that are important to biomedical engineering. This includes phase change of substances, energy, power, heating, and cooling. The course will cover fundamental concepts in each of these areas with specific attention to biomedical technologies and physiological processes. Analytical methods and computer simulation tools will be used in the course.
