About

About the course

Course content

The course will give an introductory treatment of the governing laws for heat and masss transfer. The following topics are covered: Steady state and transient conduction, fundamentals and engineering treatment of convection heat transfer, heat transfer with phase change (boiling/condensation), radiation heat transfer and heat exchangers. Both analytical and numerical solution methods are presented.

Learning outcome

The course aims at providing the student insight and a basis for working with heat and mass transfer processes, and providew a fundamental understanding for the governing processes for heat, momentum and mass transfer. The student shall be able to conduct analyses by using the fundamental principles to solve practical heat and mass transfer problems in industrial processes, buildings and other engineering applications.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, ordinary exercises, computer exercises and laboratory work. A minimum of 3/4 of all exercises must be accepted. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.

Compulsory assignments
