Heat Transfer

The Heat Transfer course consists of the following sections:
• Introduction to heat transfer mechanisms
• Heat transfer with conduction, conduction equation,
thermal resistance
• Heat transfer with convection, boundary layers, flow types
• Extending surfaces / fins, performance, optimization
• Heat exchangers, heat permeability, energy balance,
temperature difference
• Transient phenomena – concentrated capacity,
temperature / space ratio, Heisler chart
• Heat transfer via radiation – black body, zone and surface
emission, Kirchoff’s law, thermal radiation transaction

After the successful completion of the Heat Transfer course the
student would be able to:
• Comprehend and explain the basic heat transfer
mechanism
• Develop the specific characteristics of the heat transfer
mechanisms as well as compare the heat transfer mechanisms
• Comprehend and analyze the operation and the specific
characteristics of heat exchangers
• Calculate heat transfer parameters in typical problems with
heat transfer phenomena
• Comprehend and describe transient conduction
phenomena

• Students’ assessment will be performed via written examination process at the end of the Semester (80 %) as well as via individual projects (20 %) which will be assigned to the students during the Semester.

• Both exams and projects consist of questions examining
various heat transfer topics.
