ME 410 Heat Transfer
Course
Description
ME 410, Heat Transfer, is a
required course for mechanical and nuclear engineering students. The course
presents the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and
radiation. One-dimensional steady and transient conduction is studied for
planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometries. The lumped capacitance
analysis is used for transient conduction when appropriate. Analytical and
numerical methods are presented for two-dimensional conduction problems,
including the analysis of extended surfaces. Convection heat transfer is
studied in both internal and external geometries and under laminar and
turbulent flow regimes. External flows include cooling on flat plates due to
laminar and turbulent boundary layer flows, and cooling of cylinders due to
cross flow. The convection heat transfer analysis in internal flows
considers laminar and turbulent pipe flows. Free convection is also
considered where heat transfer is due to flow induced by fluid buoyancy.
Radiation heat transfer is studied by considering both the
general characteristics of radiation as well as the properties of radiating
surfaces and radiation heat transfer between surfaces. Methods for solving
multi-mode heat transfer are presented throughout the course. Heat
exchangers and heat transfer from extended surfaces are two applications
studied in the course.

Students should be familiar
with MATLAB or similar software at a level for numerical
solutions of finite difference equations covered in chapters 4 and 5 of
the course. |

Office for Disability
Services
Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University’s
educational programs. If you have a disability‐related need for
reasonable academic adjustments in this course, contact the Office for
Disability Services (ODS) at 814‐863‐1807 (V/TTY). For further
information regarding ODS, please visit the Office of Disability
Services website at
http://equity.psu.edu/ods
In order to receive consideration for course accommodations, you must
contact ODS and provide documentation (see the documentation guidelines
at
http://equity.psu.edu/ods/guidelines. If the documentation supports
the need for academics adjustments, ODS will provide a letter
identifying appropriate academics adjustments. Please share this letter
and discuss the adjustments with your instructor as early in the course
as possible. You must contact ODS and request academic adjustment
letters at the beginning of each semester. |
