CHEN 3340 Heat Transfer

This course will introduce the fundamentals basics of heat transfer, including conduction, convection, radiation, and their corresponding rate equations. Focus is placed on applications of high relevance to the chemical industry, such as flow in pipes and heat exchangers. Students in this class will acquire familiarity with the fundamental mechanics of heat transfer and learn how these fundamentals are applied to chemical processes. Upon completion of this course, students will be equipped to perform detailed analysis of heat requirements in processes that are typical of the chemical industry.

Prerequisite

Students need to obtain a C grade in Thermodynamics I (CHEN 3301) and Fluid Mechanics (CHEN 3330) before enrolling in this course.
