Learning outcomes
The Introduction to Heat Transfer course is an introduction to the main concepts and methods of heat transfer. The objectives of this integrated subject are multiple. First, the fundamental principles and laws of heat transfer are developed, and the implications of these principles for system behavior are investigated. Then modeling, analyzing and design are applied by applying these principles; and the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice of heat transfer in real-world applications are developed.<br><br>- Understand the basic mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, radiation<br>- Be able to develop the heat conduction equation applied to different geometries, and solce the appropriate differential equations<br>- Apply the heat conduction equation to networks of thermal resistances<br>- Understand the basic concepts of convection, the use of the Prandtl number and apply it to external flow situations<br>- Discover the different types of heat exchangers and their practical applications<br>- Be able to solve standard problems applied to cooling or heating by fins<br>- Understand the concepts necessary to solve radiation-related problems: black body, view factor, emissivity, reflectivity, transmittivity, Kirchoff's law.<br>- Run different experiments and present the results in a properly expressed manner.<br><br>The student should be able to:<br>1 - Describe the microstructures and phases that will occur in material alloys in general, and in steels and Aluminium alloys in particular <br>2 - Predict how microstructure will be affected by alloy composition and thermo-mechanical treatment"<br><br>Analyze structural systems to determine sectional forces and demonstrate an understanding of their influence on overall structural response. Ability to build shear and moment diagrams for simple structures in 2 dimensions. Perform a failure and fatigue analysis and apply concepts for fail-safe design.
