Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

The student will deepen his/her knowledge on Heat Transfer, namely, on radiative heat transfer. He/she should be able to understand the physical phenomena involved on radiative heat transfer in participating media and its interaction with the other modes of heat transfer (conduction and convection). The sudent should be able to predict raditive heat transfer, as well as radiative properties of molecular gases, particulated media and semitransparent media. A special attention to computational models to predict radiative heat transfer will be given.

Contents

1.Revisions radiation and heat transfer (solid surf)
2.Eq. of radiative transfer in participating media: rad. in vacuum; attenuation by absorption and scattering; augmentation by emission and scattering; radiative transfer eq. and solution meth.
3.Radiative prop. gases: Emission and Absorption; atomic and molecular spectra; spectral, narrow and wide band models; total emissivity and mean absorption coef.
4.Radiative prop. of particulate media: absorption and scattering from sphere; radiative prop particle cloud; Ryleigh and Rayleigh-Gans scattering; radiative prop. large spheres; approx. scattering phase functions.
5.Radiative prop of semitransparent media: absorption by semitransparent solids and liquids;
6.Solutions for the RTE: exact sol. for one-dimensional gray media; approx. Sol. meth. for one-dimensional media; numerical meth.s: PN-Approx., meth. of discrete ordinates, the zonal meth.
7.Combined Radiation (conduction; convection; combustion). Interaction radiation/turbulence.

Teaching Methods

Teaching is based on theoretical and theoretical/practical classes. The learning process should be active and should stimulate students to research and learn more about the topics discussed in the classroom. Since the number of students in the classroom is not too high, the teacher will look at each student as an individual. Each student will do some research on a topic not presented by the teacher and presented in classroom.
Evaluation: Students will be assessed by:
N1-Mini-tasks
N2-A written essay presented to the colleagues.
N3-Exam
The final mark is calculated by:
0,4xN1+0,2xN2+0,4xN3
