MECH 625 Advanced Heat Transfer

3 semester hours

This course will cover fundamentals of conduction, convection, radiation, and basics of heat transfer numerical methods. The focus will be on theoretical and numerical analysis of 2D conduction, conservation of mass, momentum and energy in integral and differential forms; laminar and turbulent, forced, natural convection in internal and external flows, introduction to radiation, basics of numerical methods such as finite difference and finite volume, and introduction to ANSYS Fluent software.

Lecture, 3 hours.

Graduate standing required.
