 Attendance to lectures is required.
 Announcements made during lectures will be assumed "posted" to all students.
 You may take a make-up exam, if you miss an exam (for medical reasons only) AND if you submit
proper documentation (no later than the first lecture following the dates of absence indicated on
your document) AND (for the 2nd exam) if you have not missed an earlier exam.
course learning objectives:
 Identify the primary modes of heat transfer applicable to a specific condition and derive governing
equations by using general and constitutive laws for a system represented by control volumes and
surfaces, recognize symmetry and other simplifying approximations.
 Represent a physical system using the appropriate form of the conduction equation and the
corresponding boundary and initial conditions to estimate temperature distributions and heat flow in
objects using approximate or detailed solutions considering temperature variations with time and space
in solids.
 Identify the flow regimes and boundary conditions in external and internal flows and use pertinent nondimensional variables to compute heat transfer coefficients while distinguishing between local and
average coefficients. Obtain an awareness of the various empirical correlations for forced and natural
convection and recognize their applicability to different physical situations.
 Understand the fundamental processes and general definitions in regards to radiative transfer and
predict heat transfer due to radiation between ideal and/or actual surfaces or enclosures, accounting for
directional and spectral variations in surface properties.
