I. Catalogue Description:
This course is intended as a one semester course for first year graduate students on convection heat transfer.
Topics to be covered include basic concepts in heat transfer, differential formulation of the continuity,
momentum and energy equations, exact solution of one-dimensional flow problems, boundary layer flow,
approximate solutions using the integral method, heat transfer in channel flow, correlation equations in forced
and free convection, flow through porous media, convection in microchannels.
II.Prerequisite by Topic:
Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Students are also expected
to be proficient in applying mathematics (e.g., integration, differentiation, and differential equations), and
thermodynamics (e.g., the first law).
