CHME-6840

An Introduction to Multiphase Flow and Heat Transfer I

This course is intended to give students a state-of-the-art understanding about single and multicomponent boiling and condensation heat transfer phenomena. Applications include the analysis of nuclear reactors, oil wells, and chemical process equipment. Students satisfactorily completing this course are expected to be able to thoroughly understand the current thermal-hydraulics literature on multiphase heat and mass transfer and be able to conduct independent research in this field. (Cross listed as MANE-6840. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and MANE-6840.) Prerequisite: a working knowledge of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Fall term annually.

3 credit hours
