Outcomes
As a result of successfully completing this class, students will be able to formulate and solve
problems related to
(1) steady and unsteady conduction heat transfer including analytical and computational
methodologies,
(2) convection heat transfer for external and internal flow situations including an understanding
of the roles of dimensionless parameters as well as laminar and turbulent flows, and
(3) black body and gray body radiation heat transfer.
4) Transient Conduction
A. Lumped Parameter System
B. Transient Temperature Charts

Spring 2018
7) Heat Exchangers
A. Overall heat transfer coefficient
B. Log mean temperature difference
C. Parallel and counter flow heat exchangers
9) Radiation Exchange
A. Geometrical factors
B. Non-black surfaces
Assignments
Six homeworks will be assigned; solutions posted on canvas. Some of the assignments may
require programming. Assignments will include a combination of problems from the course
textbook as well as instructor-designed questions. You are strongly encouraged to work on these
problems independently as a preparation for examinations. You are also strongly encouraged to
use the posted summary equation sheets while working out the problems.
Only two of the assigned problems will be graded. Problems to be graded will be noted in the
assignment.
Late homework assignments will not be graded, and no homework score will be dropped in
calculating the total.
Project
VN 3
Spring 2018
One project will be assigned as noted in the schedule. This project will involve more in-depth
analysis or design, and may include programming, parametric evaluation and interpretation of
results. This project is an individual assignment.
Exam policy
Exams will be closed book, closed notes. You will be provided with summary equation sheets
for conduction, convection, and radiation. No other equation/summary sheets are allowed. These
sheets will also be posted on the class website well in advance of the exams. You are encouraged
to be familiar with using the summary sheets while working homework assignments. You are
required to perform all steps symbolically and show the use of appropriate equations and
assumptions to earn credit for their work. Clarity of work will also carry points and help me in
timely return of the exams.
Make-up exams will be strictly limited to excused absences or ill health. For anticipated
absences, as a minimum, a 24-hour prior notification to exam date is necessary. No make-up
final exam will be provided at a date later than the final exam date. Note that a make-up exam
will be different from the regular exam. The final exams will not be returned.
Grade changes/verifications
Grade changes and verification enquiries for homeworks, mid-term exam and mini projects need
to be completed before the final exam date. No enquiries past the final exam date will be
entertained by the instructor.
Classroom Environment
The instructor will strive to ensure a positive learning environment for all students. Students are
encouraged to come prepared to class and actively participate in discussions on lecture topics.
Example problems will be performed in class to reinforce concepts discussed in lectures.
Students are strongly discouraged from distracting activities such as use of cell phones, tablets or
other internet connected devices, reading newspapers, working on assignments for other courses,
or conversations that are irrelevant to the course content.
VN 4
Spring 2018
Lecture handouts will be posted on canvas the evening prior to the class. Students are expected
to bring a printout or soft copy of the handouts and fill in notes in class. The instructor will be
using a tablet PC to project notes rather than a blackboard for the sake of clarity. However, the
filled in notes will NOT be posted following the lectures on canvas. While attendance is not
mandatory, students are highly encouraged to attend class and fill in the notes on the provided
lecture handouts.
Academic dishonesty
Academic dishonesty will be treated very seriously, in accordance with University policy. See
UC Davis Code of Academic Conduct (http://sja.ucdavis.edu/cac.html) for more details on
student responsibilities. Examples of dishonesty include collaborating on individual projects, and
cheating on exams by copying, helping others, or by use of unauthorized material in exams.
