MECH 415 - Heat Transfer

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: MATH 234,MECH 315, MECH 316
The 3 modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) are studied in detail, and applications are made to various engineering components including plane walls, finned surfaces, and tube arrays. The principles of conduction and convection are used to study the design and operation of heat exchangers. Numerical methods are employed to study 2D conduction.
