Goal(s)
This course aims at giving concepts and tools to deal with problems of heat transfer in various applications of engineering sciences.
The course is completed by a practical session of 4 hours (TP), as well as numerical sessions in 1st Year devoted to numerical solution of heat equation in 1-D and 2-D.
Content(s)
General Introduction to heat transfer
Overall heat balance
Local heat balance
Stationary conduction
Stationary conduction in presence of heat source
Concept of thermal resistance
Application to cooling by fins
Unsteady conduction (Biot number)
Forced convection (Nusselt number)
Buoyancy-driven convection (Grashof number)
Thermal radiation (black body, grey body, radiative exchange between surfaces)
