Summary
Modes of heat transfer. Heat conduction in planar, cylindrical, spherical wall and semi-infinite body. Heat conduction in the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity and with a volumetric heat source. Multidimensional heat conduction. Transient heat conduction. Superposition methods. Convective heat transfer - automodelling area. Radiation heat transfer - methods of view factors determining.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student will be able:
- to solve analytically more complex tasks in the field of convection, convection and radiation transport of heat
- to use the acquired knowledges in the next subjects of the study program
Course Contents
• Basic modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, radiation, complex heat transfer.

• Steady heat conduction in the cylindrical wall. Critical radius of the cylindrical wall. Critical radius of insulation.
• Steady heat conduction in a planar and cylindrical wall with a volumetric heat source; temperature field and heat flux.
• Steady heat conduction in a spherical wall, temperature field and heat flux.
• Analytical solution of steady multidimensional heat conduction. The method of separation of variables.
• Transient heat conduction. Analytical solution - the method of separation of variables. Solution for two- and three-dimensional bodies. Semi-infinite body.
• Simple and combined superposition method, conditions of use.
• Analytical solution for convection heat transfer at constant and parabolic velocity profiles in pipes. Criterion equations, automodelling area. Heat transfer in phase-change configurations.
