Single Phase Convective Heat Transfer

Catalog description

This course will cover fundamentals of single-phase convective heat transfer by focusing on methods in determining convective heat transfer rates in various flow conditions most of which will be combined with calculations for the other modes of heat transfer to predict the overall heat transfer. The topics will include external laminar flows, laminar flow in ducts, external and internal turbulent flows, natural convection, combined convection, and convective heat transfer in porous media flow.
