Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have a solid knowledge of heat transfer mechanisms and the ability of evaluating heat transfer rate in simple and complex configurations. He/she will be able to solve thermal insulation and thermal dissipation problems. He/she will be able to perform simple design of heat exchangers.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology.The student must demonstrate the ability to solve, with critical awareness, design and operation problems of heat transfer analogous to the ones introduced in classes.Methods:

Syllabus
Fundamental concepts of convective heat transfer. Use of heat transfer correlation to calculate heat transfer coefficient in natural and forced convection.
Thermal radiation: Black surfaces: Stefan's and Planck's law; Real surfaces: emissivity, grey surfaces. Kirchoff law. Radiation exchange between grey surfaces: view factor and radiosity. Solar radiation.
Heat conduction: Fourier's law and equation. Seady heat conduction in plane and cylindrical shell. Transient heat conduction: general solution, semiinfinite body, lumped parameter approach.
Heat exchangers: calculation methods.
