SummaryThis course covers the following topics: Heat, Mass and Momentum Transfer. The fundamentals of heat, mass and momentum transfer are presented, including analogies between the transfer mechanisms for convective transfer and treatment of radiative heat tranfer.
Course description 40 L+ weekly surgery hours

Topics covered are:
Introduction, rate laws
Transfer processes in stationary systems
Momentum transfer (analytical)
Non-Newtonian flows
Turbulent flow
Dimensional analysis and empirical momentum transfer
Convective heat transfer
Heat transfer equipment
Convective heat transfer with phase changes
Convective & interphase transfer; analogy theory
Combined transfer processes
Radiant heat transfer

Additionally, self study material is available on the course VLE which allows students to keep abreast of lecture material; solutions appear periodically.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  1. Identify and describe transport mechanisms for heat, mass and momentum, developing & solving models, appropriately simplified, which address transport phenomena and conservation laws, of physical transport problems (including with 1-D fluid flow)
  2. Solve problems in turbulent transport using empirical approaches and the Chilton-Colburn analogy
  3. Understand the phenomena of phase change and how this affects transport problems
  4. Perform a preliminary heat exchanger design using Kern's method
  5. Extend simple cases of heat transfer to include radiation and for fluid flow to use 2-parameter non-Newtonian models to obtain velocity profiles.
