Objectives

Describe mathematically and solve engineering problems in the fields of flow, mass transfer, heat transfer and chemical reaction.
Training on Computational Fluid Dynamics tools to solve complex engineering problems.

Learning outcomes and competences

The students in this course learn to:
- Define a model for the simulation of a flow with heat transfer, mass transfer and chemical reaction.
- Implement a model in a CFD software, setting-up the geometry, mesh, boundary conditions and  numerical methods.
- Analise and validate the results from CFD simulations.
- Compute quantities related to heat, mass transfer and chemical reaction, from CFD simulations.
