Heat Transfer is an advanced course which adopts a rigorous mathematical approach to the formulation and analysis of complex engineering problems in conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer. Students will be given an introduction to the Navier-Stokes, Continuity and Energy Equations, but emphasis is placed on the understanding of the physical principles involved and the adoption of compromises in seeking engineering solutions. These studies are supplemented by a piece of coursework on the use of a computational software to solve a typical engineering problem, and a wide range of a worked examples. Aims: The course emphasis is on an understanding of the physical principles and mathematical modelling of engineering heat transfer and tests the student's ability to adopt engineering compromises when undertaking appropriate analysis. Both analytic and computer-based solutions are explored.
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
We have 3 hours of lecture over 12 weeks with a 2 hour written examination at the end of the year.
2 hour written examination (90%) Coursework involving use of computational software (10%)
