VM 335 Heat Transfer
Heat transfer by conduction, convection, radiation; heat storage, energy conservation; steady-state/transient conduction heat transfer; thermal circuit modeling; multidimensional conduction; surface radiation properties, enclosure radiation exchange; surface convection/fluid streams over objects, nondimensional numbers, laminar, turbulent, thermobuoyant flow, boiling and condensation; heat exchangers; design of thermal systems, solvers for problem-solving/design.
VM 530 Advanced Heat Transfer
Vm530 is a graduate level core course in heat and mass transfer that may be taken for graduate credits. The prerequisite for this course is Vm335 or an equivalent undergraduate course in heat transfer. As in Vm335, there is a balanced coverage of the three basic transport modes: diffusion, convection, and radiation. However, these topics are treated in greater depth, and students leave Vm530 with a better appreciation of the underlying fundamentals and with improved analytical skills. The specific objectives of the course are:
To enhance the understanding of heat and mass transfer processes
To strengthen analytical skills and the ability to cope with complex problems
To provide experience in treating multimode heat and mass transfer processes
