Heat Conduction (MEC E 671)
This is a graduate course that focuses exclusively on fundamental heat conduction. Some topics that are covered include the formulation of the basic governing equations in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, consideration of linear and nonlinear problems, conduction with energy generation, transpiration cooling, conduction in non-stationary systems, phase transformation, and heat transfer in living tissue. Exact analytic solutions and the application of the integral method and perturbation solutions are also explored.
Heat Convection (MEC E 673)
This is a graduate course that focuses exclusively on fundamental heat convection. Some topics that are covered include derivation of the conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy, laminar and turbulent convection boundary layers, free and forced convection, convection with phase change, heat convection in porous media, and exploration of approximate solutions.
