Course structure
Five days of lectures, including fundamentally practical examples. All delegates will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the course.What you will learn
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Critically evaluate the principles governing the transfer of heat and apply a range of techniques, tools and skills to analyse and solve typical engineering problems,
- Formulate appropriate procedures/strategies for solving complex problems and making sound judgements in the absence of complete data,
- Critically evaluate and analyse energy flows in complicated systems and design heat-transfer equipment,
- Develop numerical models to address relevant heat transfer challenges in different sectors.
Core content
- Conduction: The differential heat-conduction equation and solutions for (1) One-dimensional, steady-state conduction; (2) Two-dimensional, steady-state conduction; and (3) One-dimension unsteady-state conduction heat transfer. Lump systems. Heat transfer from finned surfaces,
- Convection: Forced and natural convection. The convective heat transfer coefficient. Fluid flow and the boundary layer concept. Turbulence. Boundary layer equations. The conservation equations. Boundary-layer equations. Analytical and integral solutions of boundary-layer equations. Derivation of heat transfer correlations from transport equations for different case studies,
- Thermal radiation: Intensity of radiation and emissive power. Irradiation. Blackbody radiation. Electrical resistance analogy for radiation heat exchange between surfaces,
- Boiling and condensation heat transfer: Pool boiling. External forced-convection boiling. Internal forced-convection boiling. Heat transfer enhancement in pool boiling. Laminar and turbulent contestation on cylinders and spheres; and vertical/inclined/horizontal plates. Film condensation inside tubes. Combined boiling and condensation heat transfer. Development of heat transfer correlations for tackling boiling/condensation applications,
- Numerical modelling of heat transfer modes: Development of steady-state and transient 2D/3D CFD models for modelling thermal processes in engineering applications. Development of analytical solutions to validate the developed CFD models.
