The principles of heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation with examples from the engineering of practical devices and systems. Topics include transient and steady conduction, conduction by extended surfaces, boundary layer theory for forced and natural convection, boiling, heat exchangers, and graybody radiative exchange. Prerequisites:
ME70,
ME30 (formerly listed at
ENGR30). Recommended: intermediate calculus, ordinary differential equations.This course was formerly
ME131A. Students who have already taken ME131A should not enroll in this course.
