Boundary-Layer Theory and Heat Transfer
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of viscous flow and the governing equations (mass, momentum, and energy) related to fluid flows. The students are taught to obtain exact solutions to simple viscous flow problems. The focus was on applying basic principles of fluid mechanics to laminar and turbulent boundary layers, deriving the boundary layer equations, and discussing their exact and approximate solutions. The course also covered convective heat transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary layers.

Heat Transfer
Heat Transfer is a course that discusses all three modes of heat transfer - Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. Besides learning the fundamental aspects of heat transfer, the course applies this knowledge to solve a wide variety of engineering problems. The student learning outcomes include the following: (a) analyzing a complex thermo-fluids problem with appropriate simplifying assumptions, (b) applying the conservation laws or principles to solve a thermo-fluids problem, (c) successfully evaluating the rate of heat transfer for a given thermo-fluid system, by identifying if a process is steady or unsteady, and if the mode of heat transfer is via conduction, or convection (forced or natural, internal or external) or radiation or a combination of different modes, (d) selecting the appropriate equations governing heat transfer for a given engineering problem, and (e) analyzing and designing components to meet the performance requirements for a given application.
