أنتقال الحرارة (ME 378)

ME 378 (Heat Transfer) is a 4-credit hour fourth-year course. The course is designed to introduce the students to the basic modes of heat transfer; namely, conduction (steadystate and transient), convection (forced and free in external and internal flows), and radiation, and to develop relations to calculate material temperatures and heat transfer rates, as well as to apply knowledge of heat transfer with the first law of thermodynamics to solve problems relevant to technology and environment. Emphasis is also placed on numerical techniques, heat exchanger thermal analysis, radiation processes and properties, and radiation exchange between surfaces. Throughout the semester, the students are required to submit homework assignments, take frequent quizzes, and carry out a group mini-project which usually involves a computer assignment related to design / performance of a thermal system. The intent of these activities is to deepen the students’ understanding of basic heat transfer knowledge, raise their awareness of technological, environmental, and energy issues related to heat transfer.
