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
- apply theory of heat transfer
- basics of heat exchangers

Content

- continuity equation, flow pattern and pressure drop
- conduction, convection and radiation heat transfer
- heat loss, insulation, surface temperature

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.

Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

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.

Evaluation methods and criteria

Performance in the course
After passing the mini-exams, you can get grading with no. 1 from the course section. In addition, a separate exam event is organized, the result of which is evaluated with grades 0-5.
Passing the mini-exams must exceed the 80% level by topic in order to be given a grade for part 1. Two separate sections with in implementation. If the student gets less than 80% of the results of the mini-exams, the student does not pass the section and does not get the right to participate in the advanced exam. Evaluation of mini-exams on a scale passed - failed.
Labs as group work, returned as acceptable and the teacher's comments taken into account.

Re-take examinations according to the general guidelines of faculty of EE- technology.
To participate in the renewal, the level of small tests must exceed the level set by the above-mentioned lower limit.
Previous course completions that are part of a rejected whole (previous course) are used only at the student's presentation, at the beginning of the course, using a separate individual consideration.

Failed (0)

Does not return practice tasks
Does not do compulsory homework
Does not participate in calculation exercises
Performance in mini-exams are less than 80 % (evaluation pass or rejected)

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The final result of the mini-exams, in both areas, exceeds the 80% level. Evaluation will be graded with value 1.
Evaluation scale for the final exam and grade-raising (interim) exams, tentatively:
1) 35% < points < 48%
2) 48% < points < 61%
which is specified after the returns of the exams and is applied to the evaluation template and the general level in the performances.
In order to pass the course, the mandatory tasks must be completed, especially regarding the high-quality performance of the laboratory implementation.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

Arithmetic average of intermediate exams (paper exams) or alternatively the result of the final exam
3) 61 % < points < 74 %

4) 74 % < points < 87 %
In order to receive a grade, you must also pass the level of the criteria for awarding lower grades

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Arithmetic average of intermediate exams (paper exams) or alternatively the result of the final exam
5) 87 % < points
In order to receive a grade, you must also pass the level of the criteria for awarding lower grades

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.
