COURSE OBJECTIVES

This course introduces the basic principles and practical calculation methods of heat and mass transfer. The
majority of the lectures will be on the modes of heat transfer (mainly conduction and convection). The
analogous behaviours of heat and mass transfer will be emphasized.
At the end of this course, you will have the ability to
- develop a strong physical and conceptual understanding of heat and mass transfer processes
- use the principles of conservation of heat and mass in the solutions of simple heat and mass transfer
problems.
- solve macroscopic models for engineering problems involving heat and mass transfer
- develop a deep knowledge on determination of heat and mass transfer coefficients
- design heat transfer equipments
- develop the necessary skills for working in a team and writing a technical report.

COURSE POLICIES ON ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAMS:

• Midterm and final exams will be in-class exam with close textbook and notes. An equation sheet will be
given during the exams.
• Quiz makeup exam will be done at the end of the semester. The student(s) will be responsible for all the
course materials covered.
• The homework assignments are an opportunity for the student to test their understanding of basic
concepts and to develop problem solving skills prior to exams. Assigments will be submitted in groups
of two. Group partners should be the same throughout term. Groups are welcome to discuss problem
solving strategies with each other; however, each group is expected to work independently in arriving at
and documenting their final solution to submit. In the case of identical or close to identical solutions
with other groups as well as any other sources, you will get zero for the assignment.
• The homeworks must be submitted on their due dates. Late submissions will be subjected to a penalty
of 10 points reduction per day, except with an official medical certificate. Homeworks should be
submitted before the lecture hours on their due date.
• The term project will be done in colloboration of mechanical engineering students and submitted in a
technical report format. Projects evaluation details will be given in term project assignment.
• Students who miss any exam/quiz due to any problem (health problems etc.) must present a valid
document (health report etc.) in order to take the make-up exam.
• Attendance to the lectures is mandatory. Students who do not attend more than 70% of the lectures
will be graded as NA.
• All exams, homeworks, project must be neat and clear. Before starting the solution of the problem,
schematic of the system should be drawn, given data/information should be marked on the sketch,
assumptions and comments should be clearly stated. Unreadable and messy solutions may not be
graded.
