About the course
Aim
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- Explain, apply and discuss the basic principles of modes of heat transfer for solving heat transfer problems of industrial relevance and at different levels of complexity.
- Explain, apply and discuss appropriate solution strategy for numerical analysis of heat transfer problems.
- Develop reliable and robust computational models using verification and validation capable of answering heat transfer research questions
- Communicate scientifically (oral and written) the solution to heat transfer problems of industrial relevance.
- Understand and use the sustainable development goals (United Nations Agenda 2030) and the role of the subject area, heat transfer, to achieve various SDGs.
Content
Basic relations for heat transport in fluids and solids. Heat transport across material boundaries. Modelling techniques. Numerical computational methods in heat transfer, especially. The finite difference method. Discretization techniques. Explicit and implicit numerical methods for one- and two-dimensional problems, both steady-state and non-steady.
