MT 3121 - Heat Transfer3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
The course begins with the thermodynamic principles of power and refrigeration cycles. The course is also an introduction to heat transfer. The laboratory component of the course provides hands-on exposure to various thermal-fluid engineering systems. (prereq: MT 3101 , MT 3111 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Apply thermodynamic principles to the study of refrigeration and internal combustion cycles. Be able to evaluate the performance of both cycles
- Establish a base understanding of heat transfer principles. Be able to estimate heat gain/loss through materials. Be able to estimate convection heat transfer coefficients for various flow conditions
- Investigate the performance of selected engineering systems
Prerequisites by Topic
- The First Law of Thermodynamics as applied to both closed and open systems. Knowledge of property relations (example, ideal gas law), and ability to use property tables
- Knowledge of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
- A fundamental knowledge of fluid mechanics principles
