EGR 4100 HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, including conduction, convection, radiation, and steady and unsteady-state systems. Solutions of the fundamental heat equations in 1-,2-, and 3-D, as well as in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates will be explored. Internal, external, and free convection will also be addressed.
Notes
Offered in the spring of odd years
Course Outcomes
- 1. Understand the different types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
- 2. Understand the analogous heat/mass transfer equations and solve the diffusion/heat conduction equation in rectangular, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates.
- 3. Understand the difference between steady and unsteady state.
- 4. Be able to identify the appropriate heat/mass transfer equation, establish appropriate boundary conditions and solve the equation for:
o 1-D steady state conduction/diffusion
o 2-D steady state conduction/diffusion
o Convective systems (internal/external/free)
o Radiative heat transfer
