Thermodynamics-I (ME-220 or equivalent), Fluid Mechanics (ME-241, and ME-373) or graduate standing or consent of the instructor. The course begins with the general definition of heat in thermodynamics ...

Convection is the flow of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature by movement of a fluid. Convection only occurs in fluids (liquids and gases). Convection in a ...

Heat transfer is the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat. Temperature and the flow of heat are the basic principles of heat transfer. The amount of ...

How to lower thermal resistance. A look at conduction and two forms of convection. The importance of fin efficiency. Today’s electronic power architectures demand high power density even in the ...

There are various things we need for survival. Like water, food and energy. On the last point, our primary source of energy is the Sun, but our relationship with it can only be described as delicate.

Temperature and heat are not the same. The temperature of an object is to do with how hot or cold it is. It is measured indegrees Celsius, °C, with a thermometer. Thermal energy is to do with the ...
