Heat Transfer

Description

Broadening students' knowledge: - Concepts and thermophysical chemical properties that have to do with the flow of fluids and conductivity, convection and radiation in solids and fluids. - Deeper physical insight into the processes and the dimensionless quantities behind heat transfer. - Mathematical formulation and solutions to the conservation laws en transport equations in solids and fluids. - Recognising and formulating the constraints. Further developing skills: - Students will be able to draw up mathematical models, both exact and mechanistic (first-order approach) for standard thermal processes. - They will be able to solve, by way of mathematical formulation, simple, concrete, thermal design problems from a broad range of applications (process technology, civil engineering, metallurgy, electronics, …). - They will be able to communicate with a specialist in the field. - They will gain sufficient basic knowledge to be able to further train themselves in every aspect of thermotechnical analysis by self study. Further developing attitudes: - Being open to the thermophysical processes that take place in nature and in technology. - Having a critical attitude towards accuracy and nature/complexity of calculus models for heat transfer. - Appreciating the work of great physical scientists in heat transfer.
