HEAT TRANSFER
EME 165
Summer 2013
Prerequisites: Grade of C- or better in ENG 103, ENG 105, and EME 5 or ENG 6 or ECS 30.
Instructor: Professor Benjamin D. Shaw, 2098 Bainer Hall, 752-6801, bdshaw@ucdavis.edu.
Office hours TBD.
TA: Renee Luk, rbluk@ucdavis.edu. Office hours TBD.
Description: This course will cover conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer with
applications to engineering equipment. The course involves significant use of computers. Classes
are held in 1134 Bainer (MTWR 2:10 - 3:50).
Textbook: Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 7th ed., Bergman et al., Wiley, 2011.
Reading: Will be assigned in class.
Homework: Homework will be assigned but not graded. Solutions will be available at Davis
Copy Maxx (232 Third Street, Davis). It is strongly recommended that you attempt to solve
homework problems on your own before looking at the posted solutions.
Computer Problems: Some computer problems will be assigned. There will be a 10% penalty
(out of the maximum possible) for solutions that are 24 hrs late; solutions more than 24 hrs late
will not be accepted.
Quizzes: Unless announced otherwise, weekly quizzes will be held during approximately the
last 15 to 20 minutes of the last lecture of each week. Missed quizzes may not be made up and
the lowest quiz score will be dropped.
Exams: A make-up final exam will be granted only for illness or emergency or for absences
related to school-sponsored events (proper documentation is required).
