EGR 352 - Heat Transfer (1)

An introduction to fundamentals of heat transfer including heat transfer mechanisms, deriving heat conduction equation and defining initial and boundary conditions, steady and transient heat conduction in plane walls, cylinders and spheres, thermal resistance networks, critical radius of insulation, finned surfaces, numerical methods in heat conduction, fundamental of convection, heat and momentum transfer in turbulent flow, external and internal forced convection, natural convection, thermal radiation, blackbody radiation, the view factor, radiation shields. Engineering and real-life applications of the heat transfer mechanisms from plants to houses and space telescope. Prerequisite: EGR 346 & MAT 236
