MEC 361 Heat Transfer Lab
This course provides hands-on experience in the study of heat transfer mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation, through a weekly series of experiments. The topics to be explored include steady state and transient conduction in solids, thermal conductivity of fluids and liquids, convection on flat surfaces, convection on finned surfaces, thermal radiation, tubular HX, shell and tube HX, plate HX. Students will develop skills in the use of temperature measurement instruments, devices, analysis of heat transfer processes, experimental techniques, and report writing. By the end of the course students will be able to apply heat transfer principles to real engineering problems and effectively communicate their results through technical reports.
