Intermediate Heat Transfer
Purdue University Northwest · UGRD · Fall 2026
Catalog description
Heat and mass transfer by diffusion in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, transient, periodic, and phase change systems. Convective heat transfer for external and internal flows. Similarity and integral solution methods. Heat, mass, and momentum analogies. Turbulence. Buoyancy-driven flows. Convection with phase change. Radiation exchange between surfaces and radiation transfer in absorbing-emitting media. Multimode heat transfer problems. Typically offered Fall. Prerequisite(s): ME 41600 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF B- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Analyze and solve variable cross-section fin problems. 2. Apply separation of variables to steady-state and transient heat conduction problems in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems. 3. Apply separation of variables to steady-state conduction with heat generation. 4. Analyze and solve boundary layer problems. 5. Solve internal and external flow, forced convection problems. 6. Solve external flow natural convection problems. 7. Identify different regimes of boiling and condensation. 8. Recognize, model, and solve radiation heat transfer problems. View Class Schedule
