LEARNING OUTCOMES
- ILO 1: Student can derive and explain what is heat equation, what is the connection to energy conservation and solve the heat equation (1d) and Newton s cooling law (0d) numerically in Matlab. In general, the student learns to plot graphs and images from correlations or simulation data.
- ILO 2: Student can apply Fourier s and Newton s laws in fin theory and thermal resistance context. Further, the student can analyse 2d heat transfer data in Matlab and formulate an energy balance for 2d system.
- ILO 3: Student can write the governing equations of fluid/heat flow in a channel, estimate the energy balance and estimate temperature rise for different heating conditions. The student can confirm the channel heat transfer using generated/provided simulation data.
- ILO 4: Student can formulate energy balance for external flow heat transfer systems and use basic correlations. The student can confirm the analysis using generated/provided simulation data.
- ILO 5: Student can choose Nusselt number correlation equations for different situations including natural convection and boiling.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
The course offers a first systematic walk through to heat transfer phenomena. The student learns the physics of conduction, convection and can apply this knowledge to a case study investigated during the course. Additionally, the student will learn to use short Matlab programs to compute, visualize and analyze heat transfer problems.
