MET 405 - Heat Transfer

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

Theory: A study of the fundamental laws of conduction, convection, boiling, condensation and radiation. Analytical methods are applied to one and two dimensional conduction problems with convective boundary conditions. The foundations of empirical equations for a variety of convection situations are examined using similitude methods to form dimensionless groups such as Nusselt Number. Theory is rigorously reinforced though the solution of many problems. Design Project: Fundamental laws are applied to the design of variety of heat exchanger types. A heat exchanger design project is included. Laboratory Work: Experiments provide a means of verifying various elements of heat transfer theory. Axial and radial conduction though several experiments is observed along with concept of impedance. Axial and cross flow convection is examined for gases and liquids; comprehensive laboratory reports are required. Prerequisites: ET 204, MATH 210, MET 215. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: MATH 310. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to: (1) Analyze and design thermal systems and processes. (2) Use engineering software in design and analysis and create engineering software. (3) Apply mathematics, physics, chemistry and materials properties. (4) Collaborate in laboratory and classroom settings.
