Title
Conduction Heat Transfer
Learning Outcome
Each student can develop engineering models of multi-dimensional steady and multi-dimensional transient conduction heat transfer scenarios and solve them analytically and numerically.
Title
Convection Heat Transfer
Learning Outcome
Each student can develop engineering models of convection heat transfer scenarios using analytical approaches based on boundary layer theory for internal and external flows. Each student can apply empirical Nusselt number correlations when analytical solutions are not possible.
Title
Radiation Heat Transfer
Learning Outcome
Each student can develop engineering models of radiation heat flux for real surfaces from intensity and radiation surface exchange for gray and spectrally selective surfaces.
Title
Mass Transfer
Learning Outcome
Each student can develop engineering models of mass transfer by analogy with heat transfer.
Title
Advanced Solution Methodology
Learning Outcome
Each student can implement advanced engineering mathematical methods to develop models of and obtain solutions to conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer problems and to mass transfer problems.
