Heat and Mass Transfers (IEN / ME / SEM / M1-SGB) - 4EUS4HMT

Objectif(s)

This module focuses on the heat and/or mass transfer at local (mass transfer), component (heat exchanger) and system scales (thermodynamic cycles, heat exchanger network).

The learning outcomes concerning the Heat Exchanger Course are

• knowing the different types of heat exchangers and their specificities
• being able to quantify the performances of a heat exchanger using standard methods (Nusselt, LMTD, NUT-efficiency)
• being able to size a heat exchanger
• knowing how to model a moist air and how to use a psychrometric chart

The learning outcomes concerning the Engineering Thermodynamics Course are

• understanding basic thermodynamic cycles with their evolutions and improvements (vapour compression refrigeration cycle, steam turbine cycles, gas turbine cycles, 4-stoke reciprocal internal combusion engine cycles)
• choosing the appropriate thermodynamic tools by making consistent assumptions
• being able to understand and model new thermodynamic cycles

The learning outcomes concerning the Advanced Heat Exchanger course are

• sizing a cooling tower
• sizing a phase-change heat exchanger
• sizing of a single-zone air conditioning unit involving latent and sensible thermal loads
• optimization of a heat exchanger network

Contenu(s)

This module focuses on the heat and/or mass transfer at local (mass transfer), component (heat exchanger) and system scales (thermodynamic cycles, heat exchanger network).
Student will on one side develop their basics in engineering thermodynamics to understand and analyze thermodynamic cycles such as refrigeration cycles, gas and vapour turbine cycles and reciprocating engines.
On the other side, different types of heat exchangers will be introduced and tools for design, sizing and thermal analysis will be brought. Then, depending on the option chosen within the module, this basis of heat exchangers will be completed by either:

• An advanced heat exchanger course introducing psychrometry and heat exchangers dealing with moist air, air conditioning, condensation boilers and heat exchanger network design.
• A mass transfer course developing how thermodynamics can be used to develop constitutive laws of mass transfer
  These teaching, proposed as a mix of lectures and tutorials are completed by 8 hours of lab works to apply the concepts learnt on practical systems.
