Heat Transfer.

Catalog description

This course introduces the fundamentals of heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. The basic rate laws are coupled to the principle of conservation of energy for solid, fluid, and radiative systems. Topics covered include the concept of thermal resistance, analytical and numerical solutions of the heat equation, heat transfer from extended surfaces, boundary layers, convection correlations, and radiative exchange in diffuse, gray enclosures. The thermal analysis of realistic engineering systems is emphasized throughout. (Spring) Prerequisites: EG3342 and EG3343.
