Objectives
Upon successful completion of the module Heat Transfer Phenomena the students are able to distinguish between heat transfer mechanisms as well as are capable of explaining the underlying physical effects.
On basis of the understanding of the fundamental differential equations, analytical description of both steady-state and transient heat conduction can be derived and applied to simple, one-dimensional configurations. Consequently, heat flow and temperature profiles can be determined. Forced and natural convection, as often relevant for technical applications, can be evaluated using empirical correlations. Furthermore, fundamental knowledge about radiation is attained, which enables the students to calculate the radiation exchange between surfaces. On basis of energy balances for simple system with internal flow, the procedure of designing and evaluating heat exchangers is learned. Special attention is drawn towards a confident handling of the different heat transfer mechanisms. The students are able to solve realistic problems, where different aspects of heat transfer are relevant simultaneously.
In this module students come into contact with Dimensional Analysis for the first time and understand the feasibility of dimensionless quantities.

Description
It is the goal of the course Heat Transfer Phenomena that students of mechanical or chemical engineering get acquainted with the most important terms and forms of the transport of heat. In order to accommodate the wealth of ideas and concepts - e.g. conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer, dimensionless groups and similarity theory - in a lecture of only two hours, we shirk the use of more advanced mathematical methods (e.g. vector analysis or the solution of differential equations) in this course.
In addition, a one-hour tutorial session is offered, where solutions of exercise problems are presented and discussed in preparation for the final exam.
