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 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

- Course Participation (Homework, Quizzes, Participation in Class) (30%),

- 2 Midterm Exams (40%), and

- Final Exam (30%).

 

Quizzes are taken on Fridays and the Midterms are scheduled on Tuesdays (see schedule below).

 

Examinations: Two one-hour midterm exam (open book, closed notes) and a two-hour comprehensive final exam (open book, closed notes).

                  ŕ Hardcopy course textbooks are required!

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 recitation session. The Homework Assignments and Solutions are posted at

http://courses.washington.edu/overney/ChemE340/Private_Chem340/Homework.html.

 

Quizzes:

On some of the Fridays, quizzes will be given that are based on problems and materials from the lecture and prior homework. The weakest quiz score will be dropped . There will be no make-ups. Missing a quiz or not turning one in is graded as a failure (0.0).

Required Readings
