Heat Transfer is an advanced course which adopts a rigorous mathematical approach to the formulation and analysis of complex engineering problems in conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer. tudents will be given an introduction to the Navier-Stokes, Continuity and Energy Equations, but emphasis is placed on the understanding of the physical principles involved and the adoption of compromises in seeking engineering solutions. These studies are upplemented by the use of commercial computational software to solve a range of typical engineering roblems, and a computer-based mini-project is undertaken. There will be 4 hours of work concentrated on the design and operation of industrial heat transfer equipment.
Aims:
The course emphasis is on an understanding of the physical principles and mathematical modelling of engineering heat transfer and tests the student's ability to adopt engineering compromises when undertaking appropriate analysis. Both analytic and computer-based solutions are explored.
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
We have 2 hours of lecture over 12 weeks with a 2 hour written examination at the end of the year.
The course will be assessed by a 2 hour written examination (100%)
