2004-05 Catalog Data:

MEC 305: Heat and Mass Transfer. Credit 3. The fundamental laws of momentum, heat and mass transfer, and the corresponding transport coefficients. Principles of steady-state and transient heat conduction in solids are investigated. Laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows are treated, as well as condensation and boiling phenomena, thermal radiation, and radiation heat transfer between surfaces. Applications to heat transfer equipment are covered throughout the course.

Prerequisites: MEC 301 and 364; MEC 102 or 111 or 112 or CSE 114 or 130 or ESG 111 or ESE 124
