Course contents
Basically following the text book (in seminars 2-5), i.e. conduction (1-3 dimensional, steady state and transient), convection (free and forced, interior and exterior, laminar and turbulent), falling films, condensation, evaporation/boiling, radiation, heat exchangers.
During seminars 6-8, students relate the course content to their PhD project.
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.
Course disposition
Course is given in form of 8 seminars. During four seminars students are following theories of heat transfer from two books. These seminars (2-5) are divided into two activities. In the first part of the seminar student is asked to prepare a lecture of a given topic from course literature from at least two different books. The comparison of the theory should highlight the similarities and differences of these two books. At the second part of the seminar the student presents two papers from literature which is related to the topic of his/her presentation. The seminars are compulsory.
During seminars 6-8, students are working with the application of heat transfer theory to their project. Also they are working on a conference or a journal paper. In seminars 6-8 students submit four pages report and a presentation related to the report into Bilda. Each topic project should be reviewed by another student. The content of seminars 6-8 is adapted to the special interests/needs of the attending students.
The course will be given every two years.
