MT 4511 - Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is a study of the fundamental concepts and laws of heat transfer, with supporting foundation in thermodynamics. Applications include heat sink design and cooling considerations in electrical and electronic systems. (prereq: CH 310 , MA 227 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Apply mass and energy balances to simple thermodynamic systems
  • Apply heat transfer equations to solve basic problems in cooling of electronic and electrical components
Prerequisites by Topic
