COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course begins with the introduction of thermodynamics and heat transfer and the relations with energy utilization and
environment. The fundamentals of heat transfer mechanisms of conduction, convection, and radiation are introduced as
analytical tools to solve various energy problems. Engineering systems with major heat transfer applications is analyzed.
The principle of combustion, gas mixtures and stoichiometry are exposed to the students. Refrigeration and air
conditioning principles are introduced with respect to major energy transfer applications.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
