COURSE OUTLINE: (PDF)

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Extension of fluid mechanics in MAE 101A-B to viscous, heat-conducting flows. Application of the energy conservation equation to heat transfer in ducts and external boundary layers. Introduction to heat conduction and radiation transfer. Calculation of heat-transfer coefficients in forced and free convection. Design applications including heat exchangers

TEXTBOOK: 'Principles of Heat Transfer' by Frank Kreith and Mark S. Bohn Brooks/Cole, Sixth Edition (2000)

EXAM SCHEDULE: MIDTERM EXAM: November 2, 10:00-10:50 AM, CENTR 101. FINAL EXAM: December 11, 8:00 AM-11:00 AM. All exams are open book, open notes exams; calculator required.

GRADING POLICY: Weekly homework 20% + Midterm exam 30% + Design project 10% + Final exam 40%. Although homeworks plus the design project total only 30% of the grade, they both are required for passing the course. Any student who does not turn in a design paper will fail the course. Any student who does not turn in any homework at all will fail the course.

REGRADING POLICY: Please contact the instructor for exam regrades.

HOMEWORKS: 8 to 10 problems from text due at the beginning of each lecture Monday, starting Oct. 5.

DESIGN PROBLEM: A design problem, which might be open-ended, will be assigned at the beginning of the course. It will be due at the beginning of the last lecture (Dec 4). The design problem statement can be found in the textbook, problem 8.1, page 537. Some helpful clarifications may be found here.
