Advanced Heat Transfer

Where undergrad heat transfer hands you correlations and tells you to plug in, this course makes you derive them — separation of variables for multidimensional conduction, boundary-layer scaling for convection, and view-factor algebra for surface-to-surface radiation. Expect four problem sets and two quizzes built around analytical (and occasionally approximate) solutions to transient fin equations, duct flows in both laminar and turbulent regimes, and gray-diffuse exchange, plus a project that pushes one topic deeper. It's the graduate-level foundation most ME thermal-sciences research leans on, so anything you later do in CFD, combustion, or energy systems traces back to the machinery built here.
