Objectives
In this course, the students will acquire fundamental knowledge on Heat Transfer, together with some illustrative applications. It is intended that they develop a well structure thinking ability to formulate and solve problems, such as the establishment of differential thermal energy balances and definition of boundary conditions. Particular importance is given to the development of critical thinking in analysing different issues during the semester, such as the identification of the phenomena that, in each specific situation, determine the overall rate of heat transfer. The use of the english language is stimulated, as well as group work, the latter being a relevant component of the student’s assessment (25% od the final mark).
Program
Theoretical and Problem solvi-ng 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.
Laboratory Program:
Practical assignments consisting of the contents of Transport Phenomena I are suggested to the students in the courses of Chemical Engineering Practice of the 3rd year.

Teaching methods and learning activities
The 4 hours per week are devoted to theoretical concepts and analysis, together with solving reference problems and discussing with the the students the solution of a greater number of problems that illustrate the theoretical concepts, as well as their application in chemical engineering. The students have access to the list of problems in the beginning of the semester.

Calculation formula of final grade
The final mark 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 cannot be less than 8 (out of 20). The final classification of the students who choose not to deliver the two group assignments will be only the grade of the exam.

Classification improvement
The classification improvement can be obtained with an exam that will weigh 75% or 100% of the final classification, depending on whether the students have or have not delivered the two group assignments.
