EGR 468 - Introductory Heat Transfer

3.00 credits.

This course introduces the three modes of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation. These concepts will be applied to analyze problems of practical interest including fins and heat exchangers. There will be a strong emphasis placed on deriving the governing equations, as this indicates understanding of the underlying physics. Since it is difficult to obtain analytical solutions to most practical heat transfer problems, numerical solution methods will also be covered. *Prerequisite(s): EGR 467, EGR 368, and MA 321. Offered as needed.
