ME 505 Intermediate Heat Transfer (3 cr.)


Prerequisites: ME 314: Heat and Mass Transfer or equivalent

Textbooks: 1. F. P. Incropera and D.P. Dewitt, Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, Wiley, Sixth Edition, 2006.
2. E.R.G. Eckert and R.M. Drake, Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer, McGraw Hill, 1972.

Description: Heat and mass transfer by diffusion in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, transient, periodic, and phase change systems. Convective heat transfer for external and internal flows. Similarity and integral solution methods. Heat, mass, and momentum analogies. Turbulence. Buoyancy-driven flows. Convection with phase change. Radiation exchange between surfaces and radiation transfer in absorbing-emitting media. Multimode heat transfer problems.

Goals: To enhance the student's understanding of energy and mass exchange processes and their relevance to practical and scientific apparatus and methods. 2) To increase the student's analytical skills and ability to cope with complex problems. 3) To provide the student with experience in treating multiple mode heat and mass transfer effects and in solving generalized, but realistic, engineering problems.
