HEAT TRANSFER

ME 764

Analytical methods in conduction; Bessel functions, separation of variables, Laplace transforms, superposition, oscillating solutions; computer methods; finite differences, finite elements. Knowledge of basic heat transfer [such asM E 564] strongly encouraged.

BSE 464

Introduction to heat and mass transfer fundamentals, including transport mechanisms of conduction, convection, radiation, diffusion and evaporation. Development of governing equations and boundary conditions with application to living systems, controlled environments, water systems, and food processing. Introduction to, and application of, finite-difference and finitevolume methods, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

ME 573

Provides an in-depth introduction to the methods and analysis techniques used in computational solutions of fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems. Model problems are used to study the interaction of physical processes and numerical techniques. Contemporary methods for boundary layers, incompressible viscous flows, and inviscid compressible flows are studied. Finite differences and finite volume techniques are emphasized. Knowledge of programming language such as Python, C++, MATLAB or Java required.

ME 364

Fundamental concepts of conduction, convection, radiation. Heat-exchanger principles.

ME 461

Analysis and design of engineering systems involving applications of thermodynamics, economics, heat transfer, and fluid flow.
