Office Hours: Monday, 2:00-3:00 in E2-313.
Objective:
Learn to apply the concepts from heat transfer to engineering problems.
Reading:
Reading assignments should be reviewed before class and read in detail when completing homework
Homework:
Homework problems are due the Monday they are assigned. Late homework solutions will not be
accepted. Use of computer software and group work is encouraged. Work turned in must be
independently completed. Work will be graded for completeness, not “correctness”.
Project:
Topic is the development of an analytical/numerical method to describe the temperature distribution in a
combustion chamber with regenerative cooling. Due one week before final. Written in a professional
manner: abstract (or summary), introduction, body, conclusions, references, and, if necessary,
appendices. Five to ten pages total.
Ethics:
Work on project and exams must be independent of the work of others including the use of any previously
available written descriptions. Do not photocopy solutions. Disciplinary action can include failure in the
course.
