Course Description:

3 hours. A graduate-level course covers conduction heat transfer and radiation heat transfer, together with applications to typical engineering problems. Topics include one-dimensional steady heat conduction, multi-dimensional steady heat conduction, unsteady heat conduction, radiation heat transfer processes and properties, radiation exchange between surfaces, andnano/microscale heat transfer.

Pre-requisites: MEEN 3210 Introduction to Heat Transfer.

Course Learning Objectives (CLO):

Upon successful completion of this course, students will able to:

  1. Use Fourier’s law to investigate the conduction heat transfer problems.
  2. Compute radiative interactions at a surface and radiative exchange between two or more surfaces.
  3. Apply the analytical methodsto solveengineering problems related to heat transfer.
  4. Modeling of heat transfer problems, including conduction and radiation, using Matlab and COMSOL.
  5. Apply basic codes (finite differencing) to solve heat transfer problems.
  6. Analyze and evaluate the heat transfer procedures using the finite differencing codes as well as the finite element method through COMSOL.

Homework Policy:

  1. Please turn in your homework on the due day before the lecture starts. NO late homework will be collected.
  2. Definition of “late”: when class is over and the instructor steps outside the classroom, homework turned in thereafter will be considered as “late” and will not be collected.
  3. Having no textbook is not a valid excuse for not doing your homework. It is the student’s responsibility to acquire textbook for his/her study and bring to the classroom.
  4. Homework can be turned in earlier than the due date.
  5. Homework dropped in the instructor’s departmental mailbox will NOT be collected.
  6. Homework slid into the instructor’s office will NOT be collected.
  7. Homework dropped in the “homework dropbox” in front of the department door will NOT be collected.
  8. If you want to turn in your homework other than the due day or if you want to turn in your homework outside the classroom, you need to turn in your homework to the instructor either IN PERSON or a scanned copy through email.
  9. You can ask your friend/classmate to turn in homework for you.
  10. You can scan and email the homework before the class ends (11:20am).
  11. Homework must be stapled, instructor or TA will not be responsible for lost loose homework.
  12. Exceptions (late homework will be collected): medical emergence (student and important ones), transportation/traffic emergency, religious holidays/duty, jury duty and military duty. Evidences must be submitted.

Exams and Quizzes:

1.Quizzes are open book and open notes. In-class final exams are closed book closed notes with formula sheets.

2.Formula sheets can be maximum 4 pages, A4 or letter size.

3.Each student is responsible for preparing his/her own formula sheets.

4.Formula sheets could include anything BUT: solutions to homework or examples. Student who failed to follow this rule will score zero in the exam and this cheating matter will be reported to the department and university.

5.Formula sheets must be turned in with the exam papers (in the case of formula sheets were not checked by the instructor during the exam). Student who failed to follow this rule will score zero in the exam and this cheating matter will be reported to the department and university.

6.There will be NO make-up quiz.

7.There will be NOmake-up exam. Exceptions: medical emergence (student and important ones), transportation/traffic emergency; religious holidays/duty, jury duty and military duty. Documentary evidences must be submitted.

Disability Accommodations: If you need academic accommodations for disability you must have document which verifies the disability and makes you eligible for accommodations, then you can schedule an appointment with the instructor to make appropriate arrangements.
