Objectives

To understand the mechanisms and modes of heat transfer and to identify the corresponding governing fundamental equations. The focus is on the comprehension of the physical phenomena, and their modelling through simplified mathematical models. Another objective is to provide a first contact with heat transfer experimental techniques.

Learning outcomes and competences

Working method

Presencial

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

Basic knowledge on Mathematics and Algebra, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Numerical Analysis.
Good understanding of differential equations and their integration.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theioretical sessions to explain the concepts and equations, and analyse practical examples (two weekly sessions of 1.5 h each).
Practical (problem solving) sessions to address the resolution of typical problems  (one weekly session semanal of 1.5 h). 
Laboratory practice to introduce experimental heat transfer (three group visits/works during the semester each with a duration of 2 h).

Eligibility for exams

All students duly registered will obtain frequency if attaining the minimum legal number of presences in the classes (pratical and laboratory sessions).

Calculation formula of final grade

Distributed evaluation with final exam.

Two moodle theoretical mini-tests during the semester with a weight of 15% each, plus final written practical exam with weight of 60%, and the evaluation of the laboratorial works each with a weight of 10%. The access to the final exam requires an average mark of 6.0/20.0 on the two moodle tests.

Resit exam is for the whole subject matter and is also composed of a theoretical moodle test (30% weigth) and a written practical test (60% weight), where the access to the written test requires a mark of 6.0/20.0 in the corresponding moodle test. The laboratorial component must have been previously assessed, or the student will loose 10% of the final mark. 

All exams/tests are exclusively in portuguese, that is, no english version (or in any other language) will be provided.

Examinations or Special Assignments

None.

Internship work/project

None.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Same as for the resit exam.

Classification improvement

Same as for the resit exam.
