Text Material:
Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, 2nd Edition, by Yunus A. Çengel, McGraw Hill, 2008
(ISBN: 978-0-07-338017-9)
Description:
Concepts of the three modes of heat transfer, i.e. conduction, convection, and radiation, are
discussed separately and in combination. Each mode of heat transfer is presented by relating
fundamental principles and computational methods to practical, real-world thermal systems
and applications. Practical application projects from such industries as aerospace,
automotive, and chemical processing are assigned to reinforce these principles.
Prerequisites:
ENT 312 - Thermodynamics
Type of Course:
Required for MET students.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of heat transfer.
2. Demonstrate an understanding of how these principles relate to real-world thermal
systems applications.
3. Demonstrate knowledge of these principles, through the use of manual and/or computergenerated mathematical models, applied to the solution of simple application oriented
problems.
