ME 440 - Heat Transfer

3 cr.

Introduction to the fundamental modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation). The lectures cover Fourier’s law of heat conduction, steady-state and transient conduction, finned surfaces, Newton’s law of cooling, free (natural) convection, forced (assisted) convection, phase changes (boiling and condensation), heat exchangers, black body, emissivity, and Stefan-Boltzmann law.
