151-0211-00L Convective Heat Transport
Semester | Spring Semester 2017 |
Lecturers | H. G. Park |
Periodicity | yearly recurring course |
Language of instruction | English |
Abstract | This course will teach the field of heat transfer by convection. This heat transport process is intimately tied to fluid dynamics and mathematics, meaning that solid background in these disciplines are necessary. Convection has direct implications in various industries, e.g. microfabrication, microfluidics, microelectronics cooling, thermal shields protection for space shuttles. |
Objective | Advanced introduction to the field of heat transfer by convection. |
Content | The course covers the following topics: 1. Introduction: Fundamentals and Conservation Equations 2. Laminar Fully Developed Velocity and Temperature Fields 3. Laminar Thermally Developing Flows 4. Laminar Hydrodynamic Boundary Layers 5. Laminar Thermal Boundary Layers 6. Laminar Thermal Boundary Layers with Viscous Dissipation 7. Turbulent Flows 8. Natural Convection. |
Lecture notes | Lecture notes will be delivered in class via note-taking. Textbook serves as a great source of the lecture notes. |
