Detailed description of topics:
  • Basic equations for fluid mechanics: mass-, momentum- and energy equations in differential form
  • Unsteady-State Conduction: introduction; lumped-heat-capacity system; transient heat flow in a semi-infinite solid; convection boundary conditions; multidimensional systems; problems.
  • Principles of convection: introduction; viscous flow; inviscid flow; laminar boundary layer on a flat plate; energy equation of the boundary layer; the thermal boundary layer; relation between fluid friction and heat transfer; turbulent boundary-layer heat transfer; turbulent boundary-layer thickness; heat transfer in laminar tube; turbulent flow in a tube; problems.
  • Empirical and practical relations for forced-convection heat transfer: empirical relations for pipe and tube flow; flow across cylinders and spheres; problems.
  • Natural convection systems: introduction; free-convection heat transfer on a vertical plate; emperical relations for free convection; free convection from vertical planes and cylinders; free convection from horizontal cylinders; free convection from horizontal plates; simplified equations for air; free convection from pheres; combined free- and forced convection; problems.
  • Radiation heat transfer: introduction; physical mechanism; radiation properties; radiation shape factor; relations between shape factors; heat exchange between nonblackbodies; infinite parallel planes; radiation shields; gas radiation; problems.
  • Heat exchangers: introduction; the overall heat-transfer coeeficient; types of heat exchangers; the log mean temperature difference; problems.
