Objectives

This is a one-semester course that studies Transport Phenomena. It is aimed that the students acquire solid knowledge of the different heat transfer mechanisms (physical understanding and mathematical description), the concept of thermal resistance (individual or global) and quantification of resistances in a specific combination, settlement of thermal energy balance in different geometries (permanent and transient states) – settlement of suitable boundary conditions, application of the acquired concepts to one type of equipment (heat exchangers).

Program

Theoretical and Theoretical-Practical Program:
Introduction.
(One-dimensional) conduction with and without internal heat generation.
Natural and forced convection. Convection heat transfer coefficients.
Heat transfer equipments – heat exchangers.
Transient state heat transfer.
Introduction to heat transfer by radiation.

Practical Program:
Practical assignments consisting of the contents of Transport Phenomena I are suggested to the students in the courses of Chemical Engineering Lab I and II of the 3rd year, 1st and 2nd semester respectively.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The 3 theoretical classes/week are used to theoretical contents exposition. An average of one hour/week is used to show the solution of problems that illustrate the theoretical concepts, as well as their application in chemical engineering. In the theoretical-practical class, we discuss exercises related with the contents with the students. The students have access to the question paper at the beginning of the semester.

Evaluation Type

Eligibility for exams

Attendance at classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification results from the grades of the exam (weight: 75%) and two group assignments (weight of the two assignments together: 25%). The grade of the exam can’t be inferior to 8 marks (out of 20). The final classification of the students who choose not to deliver the two group assignments will be the grade of the exam.

Examinations or Special Assignments

See 3b) – group assignments

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

N/A

Classification improvement

The classification improvement can be done with an exam that will weight 75% or 100% on the classification, depending on whether they have or have not done the two group assignments.
