Course content

The following topics are covereed:-Thermal conduction: Conductivity in solids, liquids and gases. Steady-state conduction heat transfer incl. fins/extended surfaces. Determination of contact-resistance. Transient conduction heat transfer.-Thermal radiation heat transfer: Radiation properties for solids, liquids and gases. Radiation between surfaces. Radiation in absorbing media. Heat transfer by radiation in combination with conduction and/or convection. Simplified calculation methods for thermal radiation in enclosures. // The course may not be offered if there are less than 5 candidates.

Learning outcome

-Knowledge: The course provides the student with knowledge about: • Conduction: Thermal conductivity of solids, liquids and gases. The conduction equation for steady-state and transient situations. Solution of the conduction equation by analytical and numerical methods. • Thermal radiation: Fundamental properties of thermal radiation based on electromagnetic wave theory. View factor algebra and radiation exchange between surfaces (ideal and real). Exact and approximate solution methods for radiation exchange. –The course gives the student insight about: •Conduction: Heat conduction in one and more space coordinates. Conduction heat transfer in steady-state and transient situations. Conduction in fins. Conduction with melting/solidification. • Radiation: Radiation properties of materials. Calculation methods for radiation exchange between surfaces. radiation with participating media. -Skills: The course enables the student to: •Analyze and calculate heat transfer by thermal conduction and radiation for practical situations. -General competence: The course gives the student: •Advanced knowledge concerned with heat transfer by conduction and radiation •Skills to analyze and calculate heat transfer in complex problems and in heat transfer equipment.
