AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides heat transfer foundations (conduction, convection, radiation)  as well as advanced topics addressed to the field of mechanics/aeronautics discipline.

TEACHING METHODS

The time-schedule of the course is five hours per week (first semester only)

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Foundations

Mono and multidimensional heat conduction.

Transient conduction: scale analysis, semi-infinite body model.

Forced convection: boundary layer equations, dimensionless groups.

External and internal forced convection: theory and semi-empirical correlations.

Natural and two-phase convective heat transfer

Radiative properties of material and radiation heat transfer among black and gray surfaces.

Advanced topics / applications

Experimental heat transfer. Gas turbine heat transfer.
