During seminars 6-8, students relate the course content to their PhD project.
The course is given in the form of 8 seminars. At each seminar, each student presents part of the reading for the day. All students read the book by Incropera et al., but each student also reads the corresponding section of another text book. Differences between the books are discussed.
For each seminar, home assignments are distributed. The seminars are compulsory.
Intended learning outcomes
To broaden as well as deepening understanding in heat transfer and facilitate training in modeling and problem solving related to Heat Transfer.
