This UP which belongs to the Major'Process Engineering for Energy Conversion and Production' concerns thermal transfers and operations
General information on heat transfer: Heat transfer modes: conduction, natural and forced convection, radiation, coupling of the different modes. Definitions, balances, heat equation.
Conduction: physical principle, Fourier's law, conduction in stationary monodimensional or multidimensional regime with and without source. Study in different coordinate systems with different types of boundary conditions. Composite structures.
Driving in unsteady mode. Number of Biot
Convection: principle, forced convection, natural convection, characteristic dimensionless numbers, correlations.
Radiation: electromagnetic spectrum, physical laws of emission of the black body. Real bodies, Kirchoff's law. Radiative transfers.
Applications in the fields of energy, environment and materials.
Sizing of utility networks: flows and pumps.
