Prerequisites:
|
Technical Physics, bachelor degree |
Target skills and knowledge:
|
This lecture provides the following knowledge and skills:
- Knowledge of two-phase heat transfer processes: boiling and condensation
- Knowledge of heat and mass transfer process with moist air
- Knowledge of passive enhanced heat transfer
- Knowledge of nanofluid properties and use for cooling purposes
- Skill on design and thermal analysis of different types of heat exchangers: tubular, plate, fin and tube, compact, etc. |
Examination methods:
|
The check of the acquired knowledge and skills is carried out by an examination structured in two parts.
First part (written test): the student carries out the design or the thermal analysis of a heat exchanger
Second part (oral test): discussion of the different topics of the course to check the level of acquired knowledge |
Assessment criteria:
|
The check of the acquired knowledge and skills concerns the following aspects.
- Level of acquired theoretical knowledge of heat and mass transfer processes.
- Skill in applying the theoretical knowledge for the design and the thermal analysis of heat exchangers.
- Degree of autonomy in understanding and solving thermal problems.
- Ability and rigorousness in analysing and presenting the different items.
- Ability in the use of technical instrumentation and software. |
Course unit contents:
|
The specific contents of the course may be summarised in the following items:
- Two-phase heat transfer processes: boiling and condensation.
- Heat and mass transfer processes of moist air.
- Passive enhanced heat transfer techniques: surface treatment, enhanced surfaces, insert and turbulator, mini and micro-channels.
- Nanofluid properties and application for cooling components and systems.
- Thermal analysis and design of the different type of heat exchangers: tubular, plate, fin and tube, compact, etc. |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods:
|
