Description
Applications of the basic equations to the study of forced and free convection, laminar flow, turbulent flow, heat conduction, diffusion and multi-component systems will be presented. Case studies will include: viscometers, transpiration cooling, free convection heat transfer, simultaneous heat and mass transfer, evaporative cooling, drying, mass transfer with chemical reaction, etc. Multidimensional and transient problems will be covered, as will those involving compressible flows, non-newtonian flows and turbulence modelling.
Most analysis nowadays involves the use of numerical software. Therefore, an introduction to the numerical solution of partial differential equations will be given, followed by the use of commercial numerical software such as COMSOL to solve practical problems.
