ENGR - 320. Fluids and Heat Transfer

3 credit(s)
This course introduces the physics of fluids and heat transfer, two core pillars of modern engineering and applied physics. Students study how liquids and gases behave at rest and in motion, from pressure and buoyancy to flowing systems governed by conservation laws and Bernoulli's equation. Concepts such as viscosity, laminar and turbulent flow, and boundary layers are used to understand drag, lift, and flow through pipes, channels, and around aerodynamic surfaces. The course then turns to heat transfer, using the heat equation to describe how thermal energy moves through solids and between surfaces and flowing fluids by radiation, conduction, and convection. Applications include piping networks, aircraft aerodynamics, and heat exchangers.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 210 and PHYS 260
