ChE 350 Process Heat Transfer 

Course Description:

The aim of this course is for you to gain the competence, confidence, and character to solve a research problem. By the end of the course, you will be able to:

bullet

solve the most essential “standard problems”. Heat transfer theory is a broad and mathematical subject. We will focus on the important, well-studied, idealized problems listed in the Topics section of this syllabus.

bullet

apply techniques from the standard problems to processes and devices. You will examine process heat exchangers, plus everyday applications of heat transfer.

 

IMPORTANT: This course is designed for Independent Learning with no fixed daily time schedule or meeting location. But it does run with scheduled start and due dates according to a fixed Course Schedule. Individual class lectures are provided by On-Demand Streaming Video and supported instructional activities that includes:

bullet

weekly quizzes
