Course Description:

Principles of energy transfer by heat; conduction, free and forced convection, radiation, condensation and boiling heat transfer; combined heat transfer; introduction to heat exchanger; simple numerical and computer applications.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, you be able to:

  • Understand three modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation).
  • Understand transient heat conduction.
  • Understand the thermal design of a heat exchanger.

Appropriate Program Outcomes:

Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc.: An engineering technology program must demonstrate that graduates have:

  1. an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of

their disciplines.

  1. an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of

mathematics, science, engineering and technology,

d. an ability to apply creativity in the design of systems, components or processes appropriate

to program objectives,

American Society for Mechanical Engineers: Graduates must demonstrate:

l. technical expertise in engineering materials, statics, dynamics, strength of materials, fluid

power orfluid mechanics, thermodynamics and either electrical power or electronics.

m. technical expertise having added technical depth in a minimum of three subject areas chosen

from: manufacturing processes, mechanical design, computer aided engineering graphics,

engineering material, solid mechanics, fluids, thermal sciences, electro-mechanical devices

and controls, and industrial operations.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: (TAC of ABET Program Outcomes Addressed)

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to do the following activities, given the

appropriate parameters:

  1. Calculate heat transfer rate for typical engineering application. (b,m)
  2. Analyze conduction heat transfer mechanism. (a,b,m)
  3. Analyze convection (free and forced) heat transfer mechanism. (a,b,l,m)
  4. Analyze radiation heat transfer mechanism. (a,b,m)
  5. Design heat exchangers. (d,l,m)
  6. Formulate solution to transient heat transfer for geometrical solids. (b,m)

Course Requirements:

Attendance – Attendance is mandatory. Lectures, videos, and class discussions will contain vital information needed to do well on the exams.

Required text: Heat and Mass Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications (4th edition)

McGraw Hill ISBN: 978-0-07-339812-9 part of ISBN:978-0-07-736664-3

Exams: There will be three exams (each worth 100 points) and a final exam worth 200 points. Exams will be based on text readings, handouts, class exercises, videos, and class lectures and discussions. Students are responsible for all text material, regardless of whether we review the text material in class or not.

Missed Exams: You will be allowed to make up a missed exam only if you have a documented university excused absence. If you know in advance that you will miss an exam, you MUST contact me before the scheduled exam. Make-up exams will not contain the same questions and may contain only essay and short answer questions.

Assignments: In addition to the readings from the text, there will be a term paper assignmentworth 100 points. A separate handout will contain further information.No lateassignments will be accepted. No emailed assignments will be accepted.

Grades will be based on:

3 exams @100 points each = 300 points

Term paper & homework 100 points

Final Exam 200 points

Disabilities Accommodation:

The University of North Texas complies with Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The University of North Texas provides academic adjustments and auxiliary aids to individuals with disabilities, as defined under the law. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring accommodation, please see the instructor and/or contact the Office of Disability Accommodation at 940-565-4323 during the first week of class.

Additional Policies and Procedures:

Tardiness: If you arrive late, please enter quietly and sit down. Do not walk in front of speakers or disrupt the class in any other way.

Cell Phones: Please remember to turn off phones prior to class.

Extra Help: PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. If you are having trouble with this class, please come by my office during office hours. I am also available by email at
