Briefly explain the
Heat transfer is a fundamental component of the mechanical engineering curriculum that is
need for this course:
applied to solve a wide range of problems related to thermal energy produc on and transport.
Heat transfer is a branch of applied physics that deals with the movement of thermal energy
due to a temperature difference (or gradient) which is an inherently non‐equilibrium process.
Applica on of conserva on laws from physics and rate equa ons for conduc on, convec on,
and radia on are used to solve for temperature distribu ons and heat transfer rates. Two
previous courses, ME343 (lecture only) and ME346 (a stand‐alone lab) are basically being
combined into this single course.
