General Information

Division: Energy Sciences
Course type: Course given jointly for second and third cycle
The course is also given at second-cycle level with course code: MMV031
Teaching language: English

Aim

The course aims to provide the students knowledge and understanding concerning the mechanisms of heat transfer and the methods, analytical and empirical, which are used in the heat transfer subject to determine the amount of heat being transferred and the temperature field. The students should reach ability to apply the theory on engineering problems.

Goals

Knowledge and Understanding

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• be able to describe the fundamental mechanisms for heat transfer
• be able to explain the basic and important properties of the subject
• be able to perform analysis and synthesis of problems in heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, condensation and evaporation
• be able to understand the basic heat exchanger theory
• be able toexplain and analyse internal and external laminar and turbulent heat transfer
• be able to understand under what conditions analytical or empirical methods are applicable

Competences and Skills

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• be able to analyse different heat transfer problems and suggest methods for analysis and synthesis
• be able to judge the uncertainties in the magnitude of heat fluxes and heat transfer coefficients
• be able to critically review chosen methods and results of calculations of heat transfer problems
• be able to participate in discussions and judgement of relevant problems of heat transfer
• be able to to present analysis and synthesis of basic questions of heat transfer both in a wriiten way and orally

Judgement and Approach

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• be able to actively take part in discussions and negotiations concerning relevant heat transfer problems
• orally and in written form present analysis and synthesis of basic issues concerning heat transfer

Course Contents

The course covers heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, condensation, evaporation and heat exchangers. For heat conduction the general theory, extended surfaces and transient heating and cooling processes are included. For the convective heat transfer the basic equations, similarity laws, forced and natural convection are included. Laminar as well as turbulent cases are studied in internal (ducts) and external (tubes, immersed bodies) flows. Thermal radiation covers general theory, black and non-black bodies, grey bodies, view factors, radiative exchange between non-black surfaces as well as gas radiation. The chapter on condensation presents the basic theory on film condensation and influence of essential parameters and the geometry. Introduction to dropwise condensation is provided. The chapter on evaporation concerns boiling, empirical results, two-phase flow and heat transfer, convective boiling and condensation in tubes. The heat exchanger chapter describes various types of heat exchangers in engineering applications, presents theory and methods for sizing and rating of heat transfer equipment.
