1 Welcome to the course in Heat Transfer (MMV031) L1 Martin Andersson & Zan Wu

2 Agenda Organisation Introduction to Heat Transfer Heat Exchangers (Ex 108)

3 Course improvement compared to last years 2017: Amount of exercises increased (and consequently the amount of lectures decreased). Reduced the amount of the theoretical questions Also hints are provided for a fraction of the theoretical questions. Amount of home assignments decreased (instead we focus more on a proper methodology 2016: The lectures and tutorial sessions are integrated, mainly because it is hard for most students to focus on theory (lectures) for 90 minutes.

4 Contents of the course Heat Conduction Convection Thermal Radiation Condensation Evaporation, Boiling Heat Exchangers

5 Organisation Lectures with tutorials Guest lectures Exercises Mandatory home assignments Exam (mandatory)

6 Organisation Examiner: Associate Professor Martin Andersson Teachers: Martin Andersson and Zan Wu (offices at 5 th floor M-building) Course administrator: Jenny Oldbring (office at 5 th floor M-building)

7 Organisation Course literature: Introduction to Heat Transfer, Sundén B., WIT Press Examination: 14th March, 8-13 (MA 8) Exam is 50 p + 5 p if all home assignments are delivered in time Max 40 % theoretical part + Min 60 % problem solving part Grade 3 requires 22 p (min 5p on theoretical part) Grade 4 requires 33 p (min 5p on theoretical part) Grade 5 requires 44 p (min 5p on theoretical part)

8 Guest lectures and Study Visit Guest lecture(s): SWEP Ericsson

9 Introduction Heat is energy passing a system boundary due to a temperature difference Heat is a form of energy in transition. Heat conduction Heat convection (natural (no pump, fan etc) or forced) Thermal radiation

10 Introduction

11 Introduction

12 Heat conduction T 1 > T 2 T 1 T 2 λ Thickness b q q = λ(t 1 -T 2 )/b

13 Heat conduction

14 Thermal conductivity (examples) Solids Carbon Steel λ = W/mK Polymers, λ = W/mK Liquids Water λ = 0.6 W/mK Oil λ = 0.15 W/mK Gases Air λ = W/mK H2 (hydrogen) λ = 0.2 W/mK

15 Convection U T T s > T q T s q = α(t S -T ) = h(t S -T )

16 How to determine α or h Depends on: Flow velociy Fluid (gas or liquid) Geometry sometimes on temperature Forced convection, Natural convection, Mixed convection Nu = αl/λ f = function (Re=UL/ν, Pr=µc p /λ f, geometry) or Nu = αl/λ f = function (Gr=gβ ΤL 3 /ν 2, Pr=µc p /λ f, geometry) or Nu = αl/λ f = function (Re, Gr, Pr, geometry)

20 Introduction to heat exchangers (ch 15)

21 What is a Heat Exchanger? A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy (enthalpy) between two or more fluids, between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid particulates and a fluid, at different temperatures and in thermal contact.
