Heat Transfer.

Course    S_HT1

No. of days    3

Audience

Engineers responsible for analyzing the thermal response of structures and components, are encouraged to take this course. The course focuses on performing steady-state, transient, linear and nonlinear thermal analyses.

Recommended background knowledge

• Engineering degree or engineering experience.
• Familiarity with ANSYS (Course S_I1 or equivalent experience).

Topics Covered

• Fundamental Concepts
• Steady State Heat Transfer (no mass transport)
• Additional Considerations for Nonlinear Analysis
• Transient Analysis
• Complex, Time & Spatially Varying Boundary Conditions
• Additional Convection / Heat Flux Loading Options and Simple Thermal / Flow Elements
• Radiation Heat Transfer
• Phase Change Analysis
• The Finite Element Approach to Thermal Analysis
  Each course chapter is followed by "hands-on" workshops and exercises

Objectives

After completing the seminar, analysts should be able to analyse:
• thermal responses of structures involving conduction, convection, and radiation
• the response of structures exhibiting special heat transfer phenomena including thermal-stress coupling and phase change.
