ME6301J – Advanced Heat Transfer


Instructors:

Zhaoguang Wang

Credits: 3 credits

Pre-requisites: Vm335 or an equivalent undergraduate course

Description:

“As in Vm335, there is a balanced coverage of the three basic transport modes: diffusion,
convection, and radiation. However, these topics are treated in greater depth, and students leave
Vm530 with a better appreciation of the underlying fundamentals and with improved analytical
skills. The specific objectives of the course are:
 To enhance the understanding of heat and mass transfer processes
 To strengthen analytical skills and the ability to cope with complex problems
 To provide experience in treating multimode heat and mass transfer processes”

Course Topics:

Heat and mass transfer by diffusion in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, transient, 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.
