22.342 Conve ction Processes, ABET description Internal and external flows, Reynolds number, and laminar and turbulent flows are studied. Mathematical development of the hydrodynamic boundary layer, boundary layer separation and fluid dynamic drag are covered. Forced and free convection heat transfer, the thermal boundary layer, Reynolds analogy, Prandtl and Grashof numbers are studied. Empirical engineering convection relations are developed. The design of heat exchangers is covered.
Students engage in design projects throughout the term.
Vector differential operators. Vector integration theorems. Derivation of partial differential equations of engineering science. Fourier series and integrals. Emphasis on control volume approach to problem solving.
