Part I : Heat Transfer.
This course is an introduction to the basic concepts of heat transfer phenomena. It aims to study the different modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation; with an emphasizing on the following practical considerations : (i) Conduction: one-dimensional and steady state, or transient state, 2-D and 3-D problems, (ii) Convection: forced, natural, internal and external convection, and (iii) Radiation : rate of thermal radiation exchange between surfaces. At the end of this course, the student should be able to master the basic notions of the three modes of heat transfer, model and solve common heat transfer problems, and perform the thermal analysis and the design of practical systems.
Methodology
• A lecture session (of 3 hours) once a week is scheduled. Examples will be made in class to allow students to properly assimilate the theory and physical concepts.
• A session (1 hour 30 min) of tutorials once a week is scheduled to do exercises and practical problems.
• Laboratory and/or numerical simulation sessions are scheduled, allowing practical learning of the theoretical concepts presented in class.
