Heat Transfer

ENER2020 Engineering Thermodynamics

After completing the course the student:

• has learned the methods and basic principles of heat transfer

• knows how heat is transferred in an internal combustion engine

• can apply the principle of energy conservation to heat transfer, understands energy generation, heat, work and flow work, can apply simplified continuous flow equation

• knows how to use surface energy balance in solving heat transfer problems and knows the application areas of heat transfer

• is familiar with thermal conductivities and nanoscale effects of different material states and effective thermal conductivity of insulators

• knows how to derive and use a heat equation, is able to choose the boundary condition of heat transfer

• is able to determine the thermal resistance of conduction, convection and radiation, knows the resistance of contact

• is able to use an alternative way to calculate heat flux in one-dimensional continuous conductivity, can calculate one-dimensional continuous conductivity in a radial case

Additionally, the course develops:
-problem solving and decision-making (calculations)

• analytical and critical thinking (assessment of results and methods).
