Syllabus
Course Description
This course focuses on the basic principles of heat
transfer, for conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat transfer is
discussed in applications involving external flow, internal flow, free
convection, boiling, condensation, heat exchanger, and radiation exchange.
The students will be able to reduce complex engineering applications
involving heat transfer to the essential and analytically analyze them, and
to decide about engineering solutions based on the analysis. Prerequisite:
ChemE 330.
Within the framework of the new accreditation procedure
(ABET) it is measured whether students meet the course objectives. In this
course the course objectives will be measured with weekly quizzes that test
the students understanding of the theory and applications, which the
students were exposed to during the lecture and by working through the
weekly homework problems, respectively. The students’ performance on these
quizzes will provide continuous feedback and provide improvement of the
syllabus.

Course Credit
Course credit is based on the performance in Homework
(10 %), Quizzes (20%), Midterm (30%) and Final Exam (40%).
Examinations:
A one-hour midterm exam (open or closed book) and a two-hour comprehensive
final exam (open or closed book). All examinations are required and there
will be no make-ups. Missing an examination or not turning one in is graded
as a failure (0.0).
Homework:
Weekly, assigned on Monday and due the following Monday
at the beginning of the lecture. The Homework
Assignments and Solutions are
posted at
http://courses.washington.edu/overney/private340/HW340.html.
Weekly Quizzes:
In each Recitation
Session a short quiz will be given that is based on problems and
materials worked prior to the recitation session during the lecture and the
prior homework. You may drop two of your quiz scores. There will be no
make-ups. Missing a quiz or not turning one in is graded as a failure
(0.0).
