Credit Structure: (3+0) 3

Description :

Forced convective heat transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows is studied, as well as internal and external flows with arbitrary variations of surface temperature and heat flux.  Exact and approximate formulations using similarity solutions, separation of variables, integral methods and superposition are investigated.  The topics of turbulent transport process, Reynolds analogy, and empirical results, high velocity flow, heat exchanger, and free convection are also addressed.

Course Objectives :

This course is design to give students methodology of approach to formulation and solution of convection problems.
