Heat Transport

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the basic principles and engineering applications of heat transfer. Fundamental concepts and principles of conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer are introduced and the pertinent governing equations are developed. This is followed by the application of these equations in analysis of heat transfer systems such as fins and heat exchangers. The following topics are covered in this course: introduction to conduction, convection, and radiation; one-dimensional, steady-state conduction; multi-dimensional, steady-state conduction; introduction to convection; internal and external forced convection; principles of boiling heat transfer; and principles of radiative heat transfer.
