ME 548 Intermediate Heat Transfer
The course presents the fundamentals as well as applications of heat transfer for graduate students in engineering. It discusses the basic concepts, material properties, governing laws, and solution techniques for conduction, convection, and thermal radiation. Topics include 1-D/multi-D steady conduction, conduction in composites, insulation, heat transfer fins, unsteady conduction; fluid flows and forced convection, free convection, boiling and condensation, engineering correlation, heat exchanges; blackbody and shape factors, radiation properties, radiant exchange between surfaces, radiation shields, solar/space applications; combined modes of heat transfer.
