Accessible Education
"AUB strives to make learning experiences accessible for all. If you anticipate or experience academic barriers
due to a disability (such as ADHD, learning difficulties, mental health conditions, chronic or temporary medical
conditions), please do not hesitate to inform the Accessible Education Office (AEO). In order to ensure that you
receive the support you need and to facilitate a smooth accommodations process, you must register with the
AEO as soon as possible. AEO's email address is accessibility@aub.edu.lb. The Office is located in West Hall
room 314, and its AUB phone extension is 3246."

8- Natural convection governing differential and experimental correlations.
9- Heat exchanger analysis
10- Combined-mode heat transfer
1- To impart on students an understanding of the fundamental principles and laws of heat transfer by
conduction, convection and radiation.
2- To train students in modeling and analysis techniques (analytical or numerical) when formulating
and solving problems of one-dimensional and two-dimensional conduction heat transfer.
3- To train students in modeling and analysis techniques and in use of empirical correlations, when
formulating and solving convection problems of fully-developed laminar and turbulent internal
flows and problem of external boundary layer flows.
4- To cultivate skills pertinent to modeling of thermal systems which involve combined modes of heat
transfer.
