Course content

The course will cover the followin topics:PART 1.: Conservation equations, viscosity and stress terms, boundary layer equations for momentum, heat and mass transfer.PART 2: Momentum and heat transfer for laminar boundary layers, laminar flow in pipes/ducts, turbulent boundary layers, turbulent flow in pipes/ducts, heat transfer by natural convection, influence of temperature-dependent fluid properties on convective heat transfer and friction.PART 3: Mass transfer boundary layers.

Learning outcome

-Knowledge: The course provides the student with knowledge about: •Conservation principles for mass, momentum and energy.• Boundary layer approximations, conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy in laminar and turbulent boundary layers.• Boundary layer flow, pressured drop and heat transfer in laminar external and internal flows.• Turbulence.• Boundary layer flow, pressured rop and heat transfer in turbulent external and internal flows.• Heat transfer by natural convection.• Mass transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary layers. –The course gives the student insight about: •Boundary layer flow, laminar and turbulent flows•Heat, mass and momentum transfer in boundary layer flows.• Natural convection heat transfer.-Skills: The course enables the student to: •Analyze and calculate heat transfer and friction by convection for practical situations. •Analyze and calculate convective mass transfer by analogy to heat transfer.-General competence: The course gives the student: •Advanced knowledge concerned with flow, heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid friction in laminar and turbulent boundary layers. •Skills to analyze and calculate heat, mass and momentum transfer in complex problems and in heat/mass transfer equipment.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, alternatively study groups, plus compulsory exercises.If there is a large number of students, the final examination may be changed to written exam. To pass the course a score of at least 70 percent is required.
