() key to symbols Prereq: 2.51
Units: 3-0-9


Focuses on teaching students how to model thermal transport processes in typical engineering systems such as those found in manufacturing, machinery, and energy technologies. Subject is divided into successive modules that cover basic modeling tactics for particular modes of transport, including steady and unsteady heat conduction, convection, multiphase flow processes, and thermal radiation. Subject includes a creative design project executed by the students.
