Basic heat and mass transfer
15.0 ECTS creditsThe course covers the following:
- open and closed systems, system boundaries, mass and energy balances,
- energy and power,
- properties of fluids, viscosity, and incompressibility,
- mechanisms for heat transfer from a warm to a cold body, conduction, natural and forced convection, and radiation,
- mechanisms for mass transfer from high to low concentration, diffusion and convection,
- the air-water system and Mollier diagram,
- calculation of combined heat transfer and heat and mass transfer,
- dimensioning and analysis of different types of heat exchangers, and
- the function of solar collectors and solar cells.
