Heat Transfer and the Heat Equation
This is a 400 level course.
We will be using FEniCS to solve PDEs. Some resources are given below.
Textbooks and Literature
There is no single textbook for this course. We can divide the texts that we will use into three categories.
- Physics related texts that talk about various modes of heat transfer.
- Yunus Cengel. Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach
- Mathematics texts that are PDEs in general in an analytical sense.
- Computational texts that are about solving PDEs subject to boundary and initial value conditions on computer. Since we will be using FEniCS we would often consult
- Solving PDEs in Python: The FEniCS Tutorial I
