Text (required) Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer, 5th edition

J.R. Welty, C.E. Wicks, R.E. Wilson and G. Rorrer, Wiley, (2008)

Course Objectives

Upon satisfactory completion of this course, students will be able to:

·  Design/simulate the operation of process piping systems (estimate frictional losses, size pipes, size pumps, etc.) for the specific flow of liquids and gases.

·  Design/simulate the operation of packed beds, fluidized beds, and filters for specified fluid flow rates.

·  Apply the differential continuity equation and the equations of motion to simple systems using both Cartesian and polar coordinates.

·  Apply Fourier Law of heat conduction to homogeneous and heterogeneous objects of various shapes.

·  Estimate transient and steady state heat transfer rates from/to objects such as tanks, pipes, buildings, etc.

·  Apply principles of radiative heat transfer.

Grading Test 1 25%

Test 2 25%

Final Exam 30%

Quizzes 10%

Homework 10%

NOTE: Lecture attendance is mandatory. Attendance will be recorded. No one with more than FOUR unexcused absences will receive a passing grade. Anyone not present at the calling of roll at the beginning of class will be considered absent.

Exams

There will be two in-class tests as noted on the syllabus. These will be closed book, closed notes examinations. For Test 1, each student may bring 1 sheet of 8.5x11” paper with notes written on both sides. For Test 2, each student may bring the notes sheet from Test 1, plus an equivalent sheet for Test 2. For the Final Exam, each student may bring the notes sheets from Tests 1 & 2, plus an equivalent sheet for the Final Exam. Necessary data related to conversion factors and tables or charts will be provided as part of the test and exam materials. Students are encouraged to put a significant effort into the creation of the notes sheets, since their development is one of the best available study aids.

Homework Homework will be scanned and uploaded to T-Square (T2). Homework is due at 5 PM local (Metz) time.

Academic Misconduct

Students in this class are expected to abide by the Georgia Tech Honor Code at all times. All work

turned in for grading must be original. Collaboration with other students in the class on the Homework and projects are allowed but must be acknowledged on the assignments. References: the complete text of the Honor Code and other resources are available at

http://www.honor.gatech.edu/

Re-grades
If you feel that a homework or exam has been graded incorrectly you may ask for a re-grade. All requests for re-grades must be submitted in writing within seven days of the day the work is returned to the class. After seven days, no work will be re-evaluated under any circumstances. Clearly state, in writing, reasons for requesting a re-grade, enumerating what issues you believe were incorrectly addressed. I will not engage in oral discussions about re-grades. I am, however, happy to help you understand the proper solution to the problem.
