Heat and Mass Transfer (FSI-IPT-A)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Miroslav Jícha, CSc.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: English
Aims of the course unit:
The course objective is to provide students with the information on fundamentals mechanisms of heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation and combined modes.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will learn how to define tasks, boundary and initial conditions and correct physical parameters. They will learn how to employ dimensionless analysis. They will be able to solve real problems like cooling fuel elements, finned tubes and/or cylinders of internal combustion engines, cooling turbine blades, calculate flow rate of condensing liquid, heating by radiation in rooms, etc.
Prerequisites:
Fundamentals of fluid mechanics (laminar and turbulent flow) and fundamentals of thermodynamics.
Course contents:
The course is concerned with the following topics: Fundamentals of heat transfer and mass transfer. Steady and unsteady conduction of heat. Internal sources. Lumped capacity method. Finned surfaces. Semi-infinite bodies. Heat transfer by convection in boundary layers and duct flows. Free and forced convection. Turbulence. Analogy between heat and mass transfer. Evaporative cooling. Condensation. Boiling. Heat transfer by radiation. Radiosity and irradiation. Radiative properties of black bodies and real surfaces. Radiative heat transfer between two surfaces. Radiative heat transfer between three and more surfaces. Radiation by gases. Overall heat transfer coefficient. Fundamentals of heat exchanger design. NTU-effectiveness method for the solution of heat exchangers.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Course-unit credit requirements: To be allowed to proceed to the main examination, students must have 100% attendance at calculation classes (absence only in justifiable cases, namely health reasons)and passing two mid-term tests. Final exam is performed in the form of solution of practical tasks in the total time of 4 hours. Students may use appropriate literature is allowed (study materials, books) and notes from lectures. Notes from calculation classes are prohibited. Final grade is calculated as a weighted average of two mid-term grades (each 15%) and final exam grade (70%). Final exam comprises mostly solution of 3 to 4 tasks of various difficulty and corresponding weight in final evaluation.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Homework from each calculation class. Two short term exams. If students fails to write any of the short term exams, they must write alternative exams in the last semester week or are assigned alternative tasks.
