Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Calculus, Mechanics and Fluidynamics

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The course allows to the students to obtain the advanced knowledge about heat transfer topics in order to design advanced and traditional heat exchangers. By means of the integration of expertise gathered in the undergraduate courses (Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer) the students complete their knowledge in the heat transfer area. The students will obtain a deeper knowledge of mechanical engineering sciences with particular emphasis to last developments in this specific area. The ability to design complex heat sinks will be also obtained
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
In order to face complex design problems in the field of heat transfer the student should be able to correctly analyze the main thermal-fluid dynamics phenomena involved in the design and development of heat exchangers and heat sinks. Moreover the students will be able to use and/or develop specific design tools. At the of the course the students will be talented to: 1. design a traditional or compact heat exchanger; 2. design an heat sink; 3. analyze a complex heat transfer phenomenon
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
The knowledge and the expertise aforementioned will provide an increment to students free learning abilities

Program
