Course - Heat and Mass Transfer - TEP4130
Heat and Mass Transfer
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
Knowledge:
The course provides the student with knowledge about:
- Basic heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection and
radiation).
- Heat transfer by conduction in solids for steady-state and
transient conditions.
- Heat transfer by convection in closed conduits and on external
surfaces.
- Heat transfer by thermal radiation.
- Convective mass transfer.
- Friction and pressure loss in boundary layer flows in closed
conduits and external surfaces.
- Heat transfer with phase change (boiling and condensation).
The course gives the student insight about:
- Boundary layer flow, laminar and turbulent flows.
- Heat exchangers: Working principles and basic geometries.
Skills:
The course should enable the student to:
- Calculate heat transfer by conduction, convection and thermal
radiation for practical situations.
- Analyze and calculate heat transfer in complex systems involving
several heat transfer mechanisms.
- Calculate mass transfer by analogy to heat transfer.
- Perform thermal- hydraulic calculations of heat exchangers.
General competence:
The course should give the student:
- Basic competence related to other courses involving thermal energy
systems and processes.
- Skills in analyzing and calculating heat transfer in complex.
problems and heat transfer equipment.
