Objectives

To understand and identify the mechanisms and modes of heat transfer (Diffusion, convection and radiation) and of the corresponding governing equations.

To provide the means to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively thermal systems in what concerns heat transfer phenomena. The mainstay is the comprehension of the phenomena, its physical models and the capability to solve them using advanced mathematical techniques.

Learning outcomes and competences

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Mathematics Analysis and Algebra, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Numerical Analysis

Good domain of differential equations and the numerical solution of nonlinear algebraic equations

Calculation formula of final grade

Two moodle  assignements each with a weight of 15% plus final exam with weight of 70%. The access to the final exam requires a minimum mark of 6/20 on the ensemble of the two moodle assignements.

Resit exam is for the whole subject matter and is also composed of a moodle test (30% weigth) and a written tes (70% weight), where the access to the written test requires a mark of 6/20 in the corresponding moodle test.

All exams/tests are exclusively in portuguese, i.e., no english version (or in any other language) are provided.

Examinations or Special Assignments

None

Internship work/project

None

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Same system as in the resit exam.

Classification improvement

Same system as in the resit exam.
