Fluid mechanics and heat transfer (4 cr)

Evaluation scale

H-5

Content scheduling

The course introduces the physics of flows and heat transfer. The focus of the teaching is on understanding the phenomena and using this knowledge in various engineering applications (pipelines, manifolds, nozzles, pumps, fans, insulation, heat exchangers, etc.). The course is divided into two entities, flow and heat transfer technology, and a midterm exam is held separately for both.
The course includes a lot of practice tasks (building basic understanding)
Possible flow engineering and thermal engineering training work
Laboratory exercises

Objective

After completing the study module, student can:
- apply theory of liquids and gases and diagrams  to dimensioning of flow systems
- identify different kind of piping equipment, such as valves and filters, and pumps and fans
- dimension piping system and choose proper pump
- apply theory of heat transfer.
- calculate the heat transfer area required in heat exchanger.

Content

- - continuityequation, flow pattern and pressure drop
- pipingequipment, pumps and fans
- selection of pipe diameter
- conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer
- heat loss, insulation
- heat exchangers, determination of heat transfer area.

Teaching methods

Lectures
and video lectures
In connection with the mini-tests, familiarity with the topics of the lesson is demonstrated, and the understanding of the topic is deepened with practice tasks.
When working in a group, you learn from a colleague and share insights, also between groups.
In joint calculation lessons, skills are honed with the power of examples.

Exam schedules

The subjects of the lessons are tested with small tests, after passing which the student receives a part of the course that entitles him to a grade of 1.
After passing the small exams, the student can increase his grade with midterm and final exams. There are two midterm exams, one for each course section. Intermediate or mini exams cannot be retaken.

Re-take examinations according to the general instructions of faculty of EE- technology for those students who have reached an acceptable level in the short-term exams. The re-take examination is the so-called traditional final exam with questions from the entire course, from both subject areas.

International connections

Theory teaching, independent calculation exercises, calculation workshops
Continuous learning is based on constructive development, which is strongly based on deepening the previous mathematical and physical and especially thermodynamic foundation.
In a situational learning environment, working in a group and learning through insight are emphasized towards the mastery of solid substance.
Knowledge of the subject area of the course helps in later studies to apply the subjects of the subject area to promote sustainable development.

Completion alternatives

Equivalent training acquired elsewhere, which is encouraged according to Turkuamk's instructions at the student's initiative.
The aim of the implementation is to implement several small intermediate exams, the grade of which is 1 upon passing. In this case, the student also has the right to participate in the advanced exam if he wishes.
As exam options, in addition to the above, 2 midterm exams or a final exam, provided you pass the lesson-specific mini-exam.

Student workload

Student workload as a guideline 4 ECTS = 108 h
It should be noted that for some it does not take all of the aforementioned time to master the subject area, while for other learners the aforementioned time is not enough. In order to pass the course, you have to invest in learning the subject area.
The course lecture material is distributed in the ITS environment.
The student is responsible for doing the homework.
Participating is not enough to master the material management of calculus lessons, the tasks must also be done at home.
Completing laboratory tasks requires preparing the material in advance and understanding the subject. When the laboratory work starts, it is too late to familiarize yourself with the material.

Further information

Communication:
During the lesson (Emphasis and attendance are the responsibility of the student)
ITS discussion, The learning environment supports course-specific communication, so that everyone in the course sees the same questions.
E-mail in those cases where, for example, the teacher cannot attend or other urgent information sharing is needed.
