Assignment to Modules

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks Building on Bachelor-level knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, advanced topics in heat transfer are covered in this course. This involves the use of advanced methods of applied mathematics. Furthermore, new phenomena are introduced, in particular heat transfer with phase change and mass transfer. • Transient conduction: Fourier´s series solution for the temperature equalisation in quasi-1D geometries; heat conduction in semi-infinite solid; Green´s function of Fourier´s differential equation • Extended surfaces: quasi-1D energy balance with variable cross sectional area; effectiveness and efficiency of fins; optimisation of a fin profile • Heat transfer with phase change: dimensionless groups, phase change as heat source; melting and solidification ("Stephan-problem"), condensation (Nußelt solution; correlations), boiling (boiling curve according to Nukijama; correlations) • Heat transfer in internal flows: Critical Reynolds-number and entry length; laminar fully-developed flow in tubes; thermal entry region; correlations for further geometries and turbulent tube flow • Directivity of emission; view factors; diffusive radiation between grey surfaces; • Mass transfer and phase equlibria: concentrations; calculation of phase equilibria; driving force of mass transfer. Diffusion and convection: diffusion coefficient (gas and liquid), Fick's law of diffusion, molar and mass flux, basic equations, special cases (equimolecular diffusion, unimolecular diffusion, dilluted solution), • Mass Transfer two phases: equations for mass transfer, film theory, overall-model and overall mass transfer coefficient, • methods for determining the mass transfer coefficient (film theory, penetration theory (surface renewal theory), analogy heat and mass transfer)
