Aims of the teaching

The purpose of this course is the formation, at a medium level, in heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation, and fluid dynamics: phenomenological aspects, mathematical formulation (basic conservation laws and constitutive laws), and analytical and numerical resolution techniques. Methodologies of resolution of problems of technological interest in which different forms of combined heat transfer are presented.

The main contents are:

Mathematical formulation of heat transfer and fluid dynamics

Introduction to turbulence.

Zonal resolution of convection. Boundary layer and potential zone

Heat transfer by radiation.

Vapour-liquid phase change

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

Intensification in the physical description of the phenomena of heat and mass transfer and its mathematical formulation.

Application of different computational techniques for the numerical solution of these phenomenologies.

Development of in-house numerical codes to the study of fluid dynamic and thermal behavior of different cases of technological interest and motivating for students. Emphasis is placed on aspects of code verification, verification of numerical solutions obtained and validation of the mathematical formulation used.
