3Learning Objective:
To enhance the understanding of heat and mass transfer processes and their relevance to industrial problems, strengthen analytical skills and the ability to cope with complex problems, and provide experience in treating multimode heat and mass transfer effects and in solving realistic engineering problems. This course does not teach how to use FEA codes but rather focuses on the physics and the mathematical solution methods.Description:

Syllabus, lecture notes, homework assignments and solutions.Homework:
Bi-weekly assignments; the preferred method of homework (HW) submission is uploading scanned PDF at the course webpage (i.e. Blackboard site). If webpage is not accessible on the due date, HW by faxed or e-mail to the instructor. If e-mailed, the subject should read "[ME505-Homework-Your Name]".Projects:
Required. The objective of this group project is to practice how to apply heat and mass transfer knowledge we discussed in the class to real-world applications. The process can be related to your research project or industrial experience. It can also be any natural process encountered in your daily life. You can also perform literature review to postulate an engineering process or product of your interest.Exams:
3 midterms and a final exam.Textbooks:
