ENGR 312. Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer


Credits 4.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 012476 Grading Basis GRD

This course focuses on the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and heat transfer in engineering systems. The course covers mass, energy and momentum balance concepts and incorporates the laws of thermodynamics in addition to the basic mechanisms of 1-dimensional heat transfer. Application to thermal-fluid systems across engineering disciplines is emphasized and reinforcement of course material is provided through experiential learning opportunities and in-depth problem solving. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 132  and MATH 237 . Engineering majors  only.
