MAE 5813 Intermediate Heat Transfer Prerequisites: MAE 3233 or equivalent.
Description: Continuation of the topics covered in the undergraduate heat transfer course (MAE 3233) with the addition of mass transfer. This course covers problems of heat and mass transfer in greater depth and complexity than is done in the undergraduate heat transfer course and incorporates the subjects that are not included or are treated lightly in that course. Analysis will be given greater emphasis than the use of correlations.
