Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, the student will be able to
- understand and effectively use the fundamental concepts, the material and physical properties and the terminology of heat transfer as they apply to engineering problems,
- make reasonable engineering assumptions/approximations as they apply towards the modeling and solution of heat conduction problems,
- formulate the general heat conduction equation with the necessary boundary and initial conditions, and temperature-dependent properties in multiple coordinate systems,
- understand and effectively use Sturm Liouville Theory, Fourier series, Separation of variables, Bessel and Legendre functions, and Integral Transforms for the mathematical solutions of heat conduction problems,
- formulate and solve one-dimensional and multi-dimensional, steady heat conduction problems with/without heat generation in multiple coordinate systems,
- formulate and solve unsteady heat conduction problems for lumped heat capacity/one-dimensional/multi-dimensional systems with/without heat generation in multiple coordinate systems.
