Course content
The course intends to give an introduction to the laws for heat and mass transport. Following an introduction to the principles of heat transfer, are these topics addressed: Stationary and non-stationary conduction, basic conditions and engineering contexts of convective heat transfer, phase change heat transfer (boiling/condensation), radiation and heat exchangers. Both analytical and numerical (computer-based) calculation methods are presented.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The course will give the student knowledge of - basic heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation). - heat transport by conduction in solids for stationary and transient conditions. - heat transport by convection in duct flow and on external surfaces. - heat transfer by radiation. - convective mass transport. - friction and pressure loss in boundary layer flow in ducts and on external surfaces. - heat transfer by phase change (boiling/condensation). - boundary layer flow, laminar and turbulent flow. - heat exchangers: behavior and the most common designs. Skills: The course will enable the student to - calculate heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation for practical situations. - analyze and calculate heat transport in composite systems with several heat transfer mechanisms involved. - calculate mass transport using a heat transfer analogy. - perform thermal-hydraulic calculations for heat exchangers. General competence: The course will provide the student with - basic competence included in other topics focusing on thermal energy systems and processes. - skills to analyze and calculate heat transfer in complex problems and heat engineering equipment
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, calculation exercises, computer exercises, and laboratory exercises. A minimum of 75 % of the calculation/computer exercises, as well as at least 1 of the laboratory exercises, has to be approved before the student can take the exam. It can be arranged approximately 2 mid-term tests, which will each be credited as 2 approved exercises. Compulsory laboratory work and exercises.
Compulsory assignments
- Approved exercises
Further on evaluation
Examination arrangement: Written exam with a duration of 4 hours which constitutes 100 % of the assessment basis in the course. Grade: Letter A-F. Permitted aids at the examination: - All printed and hand-written support material is allowed. A specific basic calculator is allowed: Casio fx-82ES PLUS, Casio fx-82EX, Citizen SR-270X, Citizen SR-270X College, Hewlett Packard HP30S. - Other permitted calculators: Casio FX9860GII, Casio FXCG20, Texas Instrument 84 Plus. Re-sit exam in August. The re-sit examination might be changed from written to oral. All assessments must be repeated if redoing the course.
