Course detail

Experimental and Theoretical Determination of Heat Transfer Boundary Conditions

FSI-9OPTAcad. year: 2021/2022

Realistic boundary conditions are the fundamental assumption for the successful application of numerical simulation of the heat transfer problems. These conditions can be set for simple examples according to the literary data; however, complicated and unusual examples must be solved experimentally.

Aims

The main goal is to learn how to get realistic (correct) boundary conditions for heat transfer tasks. Typical technical approaches are shown. Experimental methods (laboratory experiments) and its evaluation are discussed and basic principles of inverse heat conduction tasks are explained. Within the course it is possible to consult postgradual project.
