The principles of heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation with examples from the engineering of practical devices and systems. Topics include transient and steady conduction, conduction by extended surfaces, boundary layer theory for forced and natural convection, boiling, heat exchangers, and graybody radiative exchange. Prerequisites (complete the following courses): CME 102 (or MATH 53), ME 30, and ME 70. Prerequisites strictly enforced.
