Course Objectives

By the end of this course the students will comprehend fundamental principles of heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation as well as those of mass transfer by diffusion and convection.


Course Content

Molecular mechanisms of heat and mass transfer. Fourier`s law and Fick`s law. Transport of heat and mass in one dimension by molecular mechanism and by convection. Transport of heat and mass in turbulent regime, analogies between heat and mass transfer. Heat transfer by radiation. Heat transfer to fluids with phase change. Evaporation. Heat exchanger design.


Course Learning Outcomes

  • Formulate and analyze one-dimensional conduction problems with and without generation at steady-state conditions
  • Formulate and analyze one-dimensional  diffusion problems under reacting or nonreacting conditions at steady-state conditions
  • Formulate and analyze one-dimensional heat and mass transfer problems under transient conditions 
  • Interpret and use dimensionless numbers and analogies between momentum, heat and mass transfer to solve heat and mass transfer problems
  • Predict and use individual and overall transfer coefficients for free and forced convection, with and without phase change
  • Describe the fundamental principles of radiative heat transfer, formulate and solve basic single and multiple-body radiative exchange problems involving black or gray bodies
  • Analyze and design heat exchangers
