Goal(s)
Steady state one-dimensional heat transfer for basic three mechanisms of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation). Unsteady (transient) conduction heat transfer. Specific steady state convection problems (natural, forced convection).
Processes involving phase change. Heat exchangers theory.
Learning outcomes
1)an ability to use the acquired knowledge for the purpose to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems in mechanics and mechanical engineering area by applying principles of engineering, basic sciences, including mathematics,
2)an ability to apply knowledge in the implementation to mechanical engineering designs and in solutions for mechanical structures and problems that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
Programme learning outcomes
•ability to perform engineering calculations for conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer problems (including phase change),
•ability to solve simple and moderately complex transfer problems involving one to several of the three mechanisms (different media),
•ability to perform engineering calculations of heat exchange in heat exchangers (co-current, counter-current and cross-flow).
