Title
Student Development
Learning Outcome
1. Each Student can deepen their faith in God, appreciating divine patterns, as they learn and apply heat transfer principles.
Title
Problem Solving Methods
Learning Outcome
2. Each student can seek inspired solutions to real world scenarios by identifying heat transfer modes, applying fundamental laws and conservation principles of mass and energy with appropritae approximations, and solving to quantify heat transfer rates using a systematic method.
Title
Conduction
Learning Outcome
3. Each student can describe the physical mechanisms involved in conduction heat transfer and use Fourier's law to model the conduction heat rate. Each student can apply conservation principles to contrl volumes that result in differential equations, apply appropriate boundary conditions, solve the heat diffusion equation for simplified scenarios using analytical and/or numerical methods and apply these solutions in appropriate modeling scenarios
Title
Convection
Learning Outcome
4. Each student can describe the physical phenomena associated with convection, use non-dimensioal parameters and empirical correlations to predict local and average convective heat transfer coefficiets for laminar or turbulent flows. Each student can apply Newton's law of cooling to calculate external or interanl, forced of free convection heat transfer.
Title
Radiation
Learning Outcome
5. Each student can describe the physical mechanisms involved in radiation heat transfer and apply appropriate relations to model intesity and radiative heat flux to/from a surface. Each student can determine total, hemispherical radiative properties of a surface from spectral, directional quantities, apply appropriate models to obtain the net radiative heat rate at a serface and determine the radiative heat exchange between diffuse, gray surfaces form an enclosure.
Title
Communication and Impact
Learning Outcome
6. Each student can clearly describe their methodology for qualtifying heat transfer and effectively communicate organized conclusions and recommendations. Students can effectively articulate the broader implications of their work in ways that support societal well-being and environmental stewardship.
