ME309 Heat and Mass Transfer

Credit and Content

Credit and Content

ME309 is a 3-credit course for the third year and higher classes in the FENS. The course does not have any pre-requisite. However, attendees are strongly urged to review linear algebra and differential equations.

Current mechatronic systems involve not only electro-mechanical but also thermo-fluidic and even electro-chemical components. Heat & Mass Transfer course is intended to help undergraduates at the FENS (also some graduates) to be equipped with knowledge and skills to design thermal components in complex systems drawn from manufacturing, electronics, consumer products, and energy systems.

Topics covered in the course are: transient and steady heat conduction in single and multi-dimensions, forced and natural convection, boiling and condensation, radiation and mass transfer.

Exams and Grading

Midterms:                              25% each

Final:                                      35%

Homework + attendance:     15%

IMPORTANT POLICY REMARK:
Despite its low percentage students are encouraged to do homework on their own. Any attempt of cheating and copying of solutions from any source will result in the reduction of homework grade to zero or disciplinary action. If cheating in homework becomes systematic throughout the class, homework’s contribution will be removed from the calculation of the final grades.

Wk 6.   MIDTERM I. Introduction to convection (6.1).

Wk 7.   Convection boundary layers (6.2-10). Flow over plates (7.1-3). Flow over cylinders, spheres; Impinging jets; Packed beds (7.4-9)

Wk 8.   Internal flows, energy balance (8.1-3). Laminar flow in circular tubes, convection correlations (8.4-10)

Wk 9.   Free convection, external correlations (9.1-6). Parallel plate channels, enclosures (9.7-11)

Wk 10. Boiling modes, correlations (10.1-4). Two-phase flow, dropwise and film condensation (10.5-12)

Wk 11. SEMESTER BREAK

Wk 12. Heat exchangers, overall heat transfer coefficient (Ch. 11). Blackbody Radiation, surface emission, absorption, reflection, transmission (12.1-5)

Wk 13. Gray surfaces, view factors (12.6-9, 13.1). Radiation exchange between surfaces (13.2-6)

Wk 14. MIDTERM II. Diffusion mass transfer, Fick’s Law (14.1).

Wk 15. Conservation of species, boundary conditions, Maxwell-Stefan equations (14.2-3). Mass diffusion with chemical reactions at the surface (14.4). Diffusion with reactions in the bulk (14.5-7)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Lectures will be on fundamental concepts and methods. Problem solving will be limited to basic examples in lectures.
Students must attend recitations regularly for problem solving sessions. Those who need additional problem solution sessions may ask for additional recitation hours and seek for additional tutoring from the instructor and TA on office hours.
