Course Objectives:

The goal of this course is to teach fundamentals of three heat transfer modes, and let students have hands-on experience on heat transfer experiments.

Course Content:

Steady and transient one and multi-dimensional heat conduction in systems. Internal and external forced convection, natural convection and condensation. Heat transfer by radiation. Heat exchangers and design of heat transfer systems. Experimental laboratory practice will be offered in parallel with theory. Some problems will be simulated numerically using the finite difference method and comparisons will be made.
