PHEN 460 - Heat Transfer


Credit Hours: 3

This course covers the fundamentals of heat transfer from a macroscopic and engineering perspective, and aims to develop a physical and analytical understanding of the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, radiation, and convection. The main topics are: steady conduction in one and two dimensions; non-steady (transient) conduction in one-dimensional systems; forced and natured convection (external and internal); introduction to boiling, evaporation, and condensation; application to heat exchangers; radiation heat exchange; mass transfer analogies.

Prerequisite: PHEN 320
