EGR4100 Heat and Mass Transfer

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of heat and mass transfer, including conduction, convection, radiation, and steady and unsteady-state systems.  Solutions of the fundamental heat equations in 1-,2-, and 3-D, as well as in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates will be explored.  Internal, external, and free convection will also be addressed.

Course Outcomes

1. 1. Understand the different types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
2. 2. Understand the analogous heat/mass transfer equations and solve the diffusion/heat conduction equation in rectangular, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates.
3. 3. Understand the difference between steady and unsteady state.
4. 4. Be able to identify the appropriate heat/mass transfer equation, establish appropriate boundary conditions and solve the equation for:
   o 1-D steady state conduction/diffusion
   o 2-D steady state conduction/diffusion
   o Convective systems (internal/external/free)
   o Radiative heat transfer
