The objectives of this integrated subject are to develop the fundamental principles and laws of heat transfer and to explore the implications of these principles for system behavior; to formulate the models necessary to study, analyze and design heat transfer systems through the application of these principles; to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice of heat transfer in real-world applications.ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-051-introduction-to-heat-transfer-fall-2015/ - 41k - 2017-12-28
2.51 Intermediate Heat and Mass Transfer | Mechanical Engineering 2.51 is a 12-unit subject, serving as the Mechanical Engineering Department's advanced undergraduate course in heat and mass transfer. The prerequisites for this course are the undergraduate courses in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, specifically Thermal Fluids Engineering I and Thermal Fluids Engineering II or their equivalents. This course covers problems of heat and mass transfer in greater depth and complexity than is done in those courses and incorporates many subjects that are not included or are treated lightly in those courses; analysis is given greater emphasis than the use of correlations. Course 2.51 is directed at undergraduates having a strong interest in thermal science and graduate students who have not previously studied heat transfer.ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-51-intermediate-heat-and-mass-transfer-fall-2008/ - 44k - 2017-12-29

16.050 Thermal Energy | Aeronautics and Astronautics This course is taught in four main parts. The first is a review of fundamental thermodynamic concepts (e.g. energy exchange in propulsion and power processes), and is followed by the second law (e.g. reversibility and irreversibility, lost work). Next are applications of thermodynamics to engineering systems (e.g. propulsion and power cycles, thermo chemistry), and the course concludes with fundamentals of heat transfer (e.g. heat exchange in aerospace devices).ocw.mit.edu/courses/aeronautics-and-astronautics/16-050-thermal-energy-fall-2002/ - 42k - 2017-12-28
4.42J Fundamentals of Energy in Buildings | ArchitectureThis design-based subject provides a first course in energy and thermo-sciences with applications to sustainable energy-efficient architecture and building technology. No previous experience with subject matter is assumed. After taking this subject, students will understand introductory thermodynamics and heat transfer, know the leading order factors in building energy use, and have creatively employed their understanding of energy fundamentals and knowledge of building energy use in innovative building design projects. This year, the focus will be on design projects that will complement the new NSTAR/MIT campus efficiency program.ocw.mit.edu/courses/architecture/4-42j-fundamentals-of-energy-in-buildings-fall-2010/ - 43k - 2017-12-27
