Layout of The Course "Heat Transfer (2) – ME233"
This course -with the previously taught course (Heat Transfer (1) ME231)- is
concerning with heat transfer as a basic science that deals with the rate of transfer of
thermal energy. The objectives of this course are:
1. To cover the basic principles of heat transfer.
2. To present a wealth of real-world engineering applications to give students
a feel for engineering practice.
3. To develop an intuitive understanding of the subject matter by emphasizing
the physics and physical arguments.
In engineering practice, an understanding of the mechanisms of heat transfer is
becoming increasingly important since heat transfer plays a crucial role in the design
of vehicles, power plants, refrigerators, electronic devices, buildings, and bridges,
among other things. Even a chef needs to have an intuitive understanding of the
heat transfer mechanism in order to cook the food “right” by adjusting the rate of heat
transfer.
