Heat Transfer

What it is about

You will learn the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation) and their stationary and unsteady descriptions. In the end you will be able to analyze typical heat transfer problems and calculate them for simple geometries or boundary conditions.

What you will be able to do

• Describe and formulate heat conduction processes
• Calculate stationary and unsteady conduction
• Apply convective heat transfer and Nusselt correlations
• Understand heat radiation (black body, emission/absorption, heat exchange)
• Apply similarity theory and dimensionless groups
• Perform simple heat exchanger evaluation (NTU, mean log temperature difference)
• Analyze free convection at a vertical isothermal wall
