Class Notes
Modified ME258 topic coverage for Spring 2022:
Weeks 1-5: fundamentals of convective heat and mass transfer
Weeks 6-14: phase change thermophysics and heat transfer
Project assignments for the course will emphasize connections to sustainable energy technologies.. show more

Modified ME258 topic coverage for Spring 2022:
Weeks 1-5: fundamentals of convective heat and mass transfer
Weeks 6-14: phase change thermophysics and heat transfer
Project assignments for the course will emphasize connections to sustainable energy technologies.
These changes will provide broader topic coverage than just the phase change or convection course alone, and will cover sustainable energy technologies, which many students have an interest in. If this goes well, we may consider creating a course with this combined coverage for ES&T students. show less
