EFS7AC

Heat Transfer

 

ECTS Credits : 4

Duration : 42 hours + 15 h Dept

Semester : S7

Person(s) in charge:

 Mr. Yves Jannot, engineer (CNRS), yves.jannot@univ-lorraine.fr 

Keywords : Heat transfer, Heat exchangers

Prerequisites : Thermodynamics, integral calculus, differential equations

Objective :

Be able to calculate heat transfers in order to participate to the management of energy 

Program and Contents:

Energy management obviously requires a sharp understanding of heat transfer mechanisms.

Their study is all the more interesting as each of the three transfer modes (conduction, convection, radiation) has its own particular procedure: resolution of a partial differential equation with usual methods (separation of variables, Laplace transforms…) for conduction, the study of the coupling between flows and heat transfer for convection, physical modeling for radiation.

The tutorials («Travaux Dirigés», TD, in French), are not only used to acquire knowledge, but also to develop physical understanding in order to be able to model by oneself. They are complemented with presentations prepared and given by the students, and mini-projects where the coupling phenomena will be taken into account.

Numerical practical works are realized during the mid-term seminar (, at the very end of the first semester), using the softwares Matlab and COMSOL.
