Prel. scheduled hours: 68
Rec. self-study hours: 92

  Area of Education: Technlogy

Subject area: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (A-D): D

Aim:
This course aims at giving the students knowledge and proficiency in heat transfer and computational methods applied to heat transfer and modelling of practical heat-transfer problems. Special attention is paid to the finite difference method for one- and two-dimensional problems. In addition, the students are given knowledge of other numerical methods for heat-transfer problems and of advanced discretization techniques.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Numerical Methods, Algebra, Analysis and Energy Technology basic course.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Computational Methods in Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Mechanical engineering System - project course.

Organisation:
Teaching is in the form of seminars of varying scope. The course includes a large amount of computer work.

Course contents:
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.

Course literature:
Heat Transfer by J.P. Holman, McGraw-Hill, or equivalent. Excerpts from Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer by D. A. Andersson, J.C. Tannehill and R.H. Pletcher, McGraw-Hill. Articles from periodicals.

Examination:
Two smaller project tasks. Written and oral presentation.
Projekt work. Written and oral presentation.
