Learning Outcomes
1. | Analysis the heat transfer in steady heat conduction for plane, cylindrical and spherical surfaces; | ||
2. | Analysis the heat transfer for forced heat convection in laminar and turbulent flows and for internal and external surfaces; | ||
3. | Generate CFD models of simple, verifiable geometries with predictable results and of complex geometries with unknown flow fields; | ||
4. | Critically evaluate the validity of CFD results and interpret their meaning; and | ||
5. | Model heat removal systems using CFD and interpret results indicating necessary adjustments. |
