Course Details
• Fundamentals of Heat Transfer: This unit will cover the basics of heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. Students will learn about the properties of materials that affect heat transfer and how to calculate heat transfer rates.
• Design Thinking for Heat Transfer: This unit will introduce students to the design thinking process and how it can be applied to heat transfer problems. Students will learn how to empathize with users, define problems, ideate solutions, create prototypes, and test their designs.
• Heat Exchanger Design: This unit will cover the design of heat exchangers, which are devices used to transfer heat between two fluids. Students will learn about the different types of heat exchangers, such as shell and tube and plate heat exchangers, and how to design them for maximum efficiency.
• Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer: This unit will explore the relationship between thermodynamics and heat transfer. Students will learn about the laws of thermodynamics and how they apply to heat transfer, as well as how to perform energy balances and analyze thermodynamic cycles.
• Numerical Methods for Heat Transfer: This unit will cover the numerical methods used to solve heat transfer problems. Students will learn about finite difference, finite volume, and finite element methods, as well as how to implement them in software.
• Advanced Heat Transfer Topics: This unit will cover advanced topics in heat transfer, such as heat transfer in porous media, non-Newtonian fluids, and micro- and nano-scale heat transfer.
• Experimental Methods in Heat Transfer: This unit will cover the experimental methods used to measure heat transfer rates and properties. Students will learn about the design of heat transfer experiments, data analysis, and uncertainty quantification.
• Sustainable Heat Transfer Design: This unit will explore how to design heat transfer systems with sustainability in mind. Students will learn about renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and life cycle assessment.
• Applications of Heat Transfer: This unit will cover the application of heat transfer principles in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and chemical processing. Students will learn about the challenges and opportunities in these applications and how to design heat transfer systems for them.
