Principal learning outcomes
|
By the end of the module the student should be able to... · Apply comprehensive knowledge of the basic heat transfer processes. · Autonomously evaluate heat transfer rates using correlations of non-dimensional groups, complex analytical techniques or numerical techniques · Autonomously model real-life processes for the purposes of approximate calculation · Evaluate the compromises between effectiveness and cost inherent in the design optimisation of heat transfer equipment. · Critically examine the roles of numerical techniques in conceptualizing heat transfer designs, and interpret the usefulness of frequently used commercial software packages |
