Rheology and heat transfer engineering in view points from materials science and engineering are reviewed in relation with the materials processing. The numerical calculation using Malab is practiced in the course.
I. Polymer processing is reviewed from the view points of rheology and thermal engineering.
II. The basic theory of thermal conduction, heat transfer engineering, and methodology for the measurement of thermophysical properties are reviewed.
III. The basic principle of numerical calculations using Matlab in relation of heat transfer is reviewed.

Before coming to class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
Course schedule | Required learning | |
---|---|---|
Class 1 | Introduction of engineering processing in organic materials | Understand the engineering processing in organic materials. |
Class 2 | Boltzman superposition principle | Understand the Boltzman superposition principle. |
Class 3 | Basics of fluid dynamics | Understand the basics of fluid dynamics. |
Class 4 | Explicit and implicit method for one-dimensional steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the explicit and implicit method for steady state heat conduction equation. |
Class 5 | Explicit and implicit method for one-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the explicit and implicit method for one-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation. |
Class 6 | Finite difference method for two-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the finite difference method for two-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation. |
Class 7 | Neumann and Robin boundary conditions for finite difference method for two-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the Neumann and Robin boundary conditions for finite difference method for two-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation. |
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Not required.
Materials used in class can be found on OCW-i.
Student's course scores are based on weekly short quiz and term-end exams.
No prerequisites are necessary, but enrollment in the related courses is desirable.
