MATH 3103 Differential Equations

Textbook
A Heat Transfer Textbook, 3rd Edition, John H. Lienhard IV and John H. Lienhard V, Phlogiston Press, Cambridge MA, 2002. This book is available via the web at http://web.mit.edu/lienhard/www/ahtt.html.

Objectives
The student will be able to

  1. Demonstrate understanding of Fourier’s law, the diffusion equation, and the energy equation
  2. Apply heat transfer principles to solve one-dimensional steady-state conduction problems
  3. Apply heat transfer principles to solve problems involving one-dimensional conduction with energy generation
  4. Apply heat transfer principles to solve problems involving heat transfer from fins
  5. Apply heat transfer principles to solve two-dimensional steady-state conduction using separation of variables
  6. Demonstrate understanding of the numerical solution of two-dimensional conduction problems
  7. Apply the lumped capacitance method to solve transient conduction problems
  8. Demonstrate understanding of transient conduction in planar and radial systems, and multidimensional systems
  9. Demonstrate understanding of convection including boundary layers, laminar/turbulent flows, dimensionless parameters and similarity
  10. Apply convection principles to solve problems involving external flow
  11. Apply convection principles to solve problems involving internal flow in tubes and annuli
  12. Demonstrate understanding of natural convection including governing equations, laminar convection on a vertical surface, and the influence of turbulence
  13. Apply empirical correlations in forced convection and free convection
  14. Demonstrate understanding of boiling, condensation, heat exchangers
  15. Demonstrate understanding of radiation heat transfer processes and radiation exchange
  16. Present technical talks in the field of heat transfer or other thermal science areas
Instruction Techniques
Lecture will be used predominantly although sometimes laboratory exercises will be employed.

Class Polices
Attendance is not required, but you will responsible for any announcements or notes from class (and quizzes).

Exam attendance is mandatory.

Cheating or academic dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated.

Homework
Working HW problems in a timely manner is the best way to do well on exams and in the class as a whole. Homework is due at the beginning of the class period on the due-date or due-day. Homework should be neatly written on only one side of your paper, fo lded length-wise with your name written on the outside of the folded pages before turning it in. Each problem should fit all of the following criteria: clearly labeled, one problem per sheet of paper, legible and organized. HW papers that do not fit the se criteria will be penalized accordingly. See the attached HW Format section for details on the presentation of HW problems.

Each HW problem you turn in is worth ten points. Some problems will be graded on detailed solutions and others will be graded on effort. I will not tell you ahead of time which or how many problems will be graded relative to a detailed solution, but on the returned and graded HW paper a check mark next to the problem number will indicate full effort (or ten points) and a numerical score (e.g. 8/10) next to the problem number will be used on those problems under more scrutiny.

Grading Policies
The following table shows the breakdown of credit for the course.

HW + Misc. = 20% // Exam 1= 20% // Exam 2 = 20% // Design Project = 20% // Final = 20%

Note that different and additional assignments for homework, exams, and projects will be made for students taking this course for graduate credit. Dr. Lemley will identify graduate students and notify them of these additional requirements in writing at t he time each of these homeworks, exams, or projects are assigned.

Tentative Grading Scale
90-100% -- A, 80-90% -- B, 70-80% -- C, 60-70% -- D, <60% -- F

ADA Statement
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact Adaptive Needs Coordinator Brad Morelli at ext. 2573, or see me after class as soon as possible to better ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
