1.
Objectives
The theory of heat transfer is an essential topic, as it addresses how to efficiently transmit heat and, conversely, how to restrict heat transfer. A large number of aerodynamic engineering topics involve heat transfer: aerodynamic heating during high-speed flight, cooling of the turbine blades of jet engines, cooling of rocket nozzles, and thermal control in satellites and space probes, to name just a few. Students will learn the fundamental concepts of heat transfer by studying its basic forms – conduction, convection and radiation.
2.
Outline
We will examine heat, heat conduction including steady-state and unsteady-state conduction, heat transfer by forced convection and natural convection, thermal radiation, and radiation heat transfer.
