Competency aims
The aim of the study unit is to provide students
competences related to heat transfer analyses in
engineering design.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course,
1.Students understand the different modes of heat
transfer and their applications.
2. As a result of validation analyses using FEM,
students will learn how to model heat transfer
problems on COMSOL Multiphysics FEM software
3. Students model time dependent
(transient) heat transfer problems based on the
Lumped sum capacitance method
4. The students will understand convection heat
transfer coefficient analysis within thermal
boundary layers and conduct analysis of local and
average heat transfer coefficients
5. Students will understand basics of radiation
and analyze problems on solar radiation
Course contents
1.Introduction on the three modes of heat
transfer
