Learning Outcomes

General competencies

At the end of the semester, the students will be able to:
- Use the relevant formulas to solve simple HMT problems, and combinations thereof;
- Explain the underlying theoretical concepts using relevant equations;
- Define the basic HMT variables and parameters, including the relevant non-dimensional numbers;
- Derive the fundamental HMT equations starting from basic principles and using the relevant assumptions;
 
In depth knowledge of heat- and mass transfer is acquired. Learning how to develop models for static and dynamic heat and mass transfer in systems. Conduction in multiple dimensions, modelling of static and dynamic HMT problems, non-stationary HT/MT, coupling flow/HT/MT are learned. The main focus is the development of the models and HM-balances and the solutions (both analytically and numerically) are illustrated with basic examples. The student is expected to be able to develop the HM-balances for practical problems and know the suitable procedure to solve these. HT resulting from change of phase is discussed: freezing, boiling and condensing.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 100% of the final mark.

Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Warmteoverdracht theorie (50%) with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

    Note: Schriftelijk examen over de theorie (gesloten boek)
  • Warmteoverdr. oefeningen (50%) with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

    Note: Schriftelijk examen over de oefeningen (open boek)

Additional info regarding evaluation

Written exam on theory (closed book) (50% of total grade)

Written exam on exercises (open book) (50% of total grade)
