Experimental and Theoretical Determination of Heat Transfer Boundary Conditions (FSI-9OPT)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Petr Kotrbáček, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: LPTP all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
The main goal is to learn how to get realistic (correct) boundary conditions for heat transfer tasks. Typical technical approaches are shown. Experimental methods (laboratory experiments) and its evaluation are discussed and basic principles of inverse heat conduction tasks are explained. Within the course it is possible to consult postgradual project.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Student should be able design and evaluate thermal technical experiment. Should understand principles of temperature measurements and should be able with help of literature solve thermal engineering tasks.
Prerequisites:
Student should understand basic physical principles on the level of subject studies at technical universities and should have basic knowledge of thermal processes again on the level typical for master study programs at technical universities.
Course contents:
Realistic boundary conditions are the fundamental assumption for the successful application of numerical simulation of the heat transfer problems. These conditions can be set for simple examples according to the literary data; however, complicated and unusual examples must be solved experimentally.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline in combination with practical examples of technical experiments.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Demanded is: participation in lectures, theoretical knowledge is examined and student should prepare thermal technical task related to the doctoral topic.
