Prerequisites

CHEM E 330 - Transport Processes I

Textbook

Introduction to Heat Transfer,  F.P. Incropera et al., 6th Edition, Wiley, 2007 (required).

Course Objectives

Develop ability to apply the basic principles of heat transfer for conduction, convection, and radiation.  Applications to heat exchanger design and other situations encountered in chemical engineering practice.

1. Conduction basics – steady state in one and two dimensions
2. Extended surfaces
3. Transient conduction – lumped and spatially distributed
4. Convection – boundary layers, forced with internal and external flow, natural.
5. Boiling and Condensation
6. Heat Exchangers – types, design, and analysis
7. Radiation – surfaces and enclosures

3 lectures per week (50 minutes each) and one recitation per week (50 minutes)

(a)   An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to heat transfer.

(e)   An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems related to heat transfer .
