MECH 6251

This course introduces advanced mathematical and physical topics in heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Both the macroscopic and microscopic conservation laws of mass, energy and momentum are built and solved for analytically for various scenarios. Diffusion and convection physics are presented, for multi-dimensional, transient and coupled phenomena, with specific attention given to analytical approaches such as separation of variables, similarity solutions, dimensional analysis and moving boundary solutions. Concepts of turbulence are introduced as well as multiphase processes.
