ME 339: Heat Transfer (Spring 2006) | |
| Unique Number: | 17105 |
| Time and Location: | TTh 3:30-5:00, ETC 2.106 |
| Text: | Incropera and DeWitt, 2001, Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 5th Ed., John Wiley and Sons Ltd., New York, NY. |
| Instructor: | Dr. Shaochen Chen, ETC 7.150 scchen@mail.utexas.edu (512) 232-6094 |
| Office Hours: | Monday 3-5 pm (or by appointment) |
| Course Outline: | This course introduces the fundamentals of heat transfer. The course is divided into three sections corresponding to the principle mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. A special emphasis is placed on solution methodology and practical industrial applications. I will also offer an introduction of nanoscale energy transport. After completing the course, the student will have an understanding of basic fundamentals of heat transfer, which can serve as a foundation for further study. The student will be able to analyze and solve conduction, convection, and radiation problems by appropriate methods to determine temperature distributions and heat transfer rates for steady state and transient problems. These skills are essential in many industrial applications, including energy generation, thermal processing, microelectronics, and HVAC applications. |
| Student Evaluation: | Final grades shall be determined based on the results of two one-hour term tests (20% each), six quizzes (20%), and a comprehensive final exam (40%). |
| Academic Honesty: | The academic honesty policy of the University of Texas at Austin will be strictly enforced. Collaboration of any form on the term tests and final exam is not allowed. |
| Miscellaneous: | The final drop date for this course without loss of fees or special approval from the Dean of Students is September 14th, 2002. The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic adjustments for students with disabilities. Any student with a documented physical or cognitive disability who requires special academic accommodations should contact the Office of the Dean of Students (471-6259, 471-4241 TDD) or the College of Engineering Director of Students with Disabilities at 471-4321 as soon as possible to request an official letter outlining authorized accommodations. |
