<objectives>Field of study: Heat transfer
...to be done...

Field of study: Fluid mechanics
After successfully completing this part of the course, students will learn the extended physical basics for the calculation of incompressible and especially compressible flows. Students will be familiar with the essential elements of a flow calculation and have some basic experience in operating calculation tool. Through exercises, students will be able to classify fluid dynamic processes and their effects, taking into account the influencing variables, and to calculate them from an engineering perspective.
Students will improve their subject-related technical English skills. Students will know the subject-specific English terms.

<content>Field of study: Heat transfer

Fourier&quot;s laws of heat conduction, thermal conductivity of fluids and solids, heat transfer coefficient.
- Steady-state problems:
Heat transfer through flat, cylindrical, and spherical walls (PÈCLET-Gin.)
Quasi-one-dimensional and quasi-stationary problems:
Cooling of flowing fluids in pipes, cooling of a fluid in a spherical reservoir, cooling of a wire passing through a liquid bath, fins (finned walls, finned tubes)
- Similarity theory:
Dimensionless parameters (Nu, Re, Pr, Gr, etc.)
- Heat transfer in single-phase media:
Forced convection: channel flows, bodies in cross flow, tube bundles, free convection: flat wall, horizontal cylinder
- Simple heat exchangers:
Recuperators, regenerators: parallel flow, counterflow, cross flow
- Heat transport by radiation:
Planck&quot;s law of radiation, Lambert&quot;s cosine law, Stefan-Boltzmann law, Kirchhoff&quot;s law, radiation exchange between parallel walls, radiation screens, radiation exchange between enclosing surfaces.
- Application:
Exemplary applications of simulation software (like Ansys Fluent, Ansys CFX, Comsol Multiphysics)

Field of study: Fluid mechanics
- Incompressible fluids:
Steady flow in piping systems, outflow processes, principle of linear momentum, principle of angular momentum
- Compressible fluids:
Energy equation, outflow processes, supersonic flow
- Application:
Exemplary applications of simulation software (like Ansys Fluent, Ansys CFX, Comsol Multiphysics)
