Description: Energy and processes of its conversion are the basis of our existence and civilization development. The transport of energy in the way of heat is therefore an important element in nature, technology and medicine. The phenomena of heat exchange are very complex and their knowledge is of fundamental importance for the development of new technologies. Experiments on heat transfer are difficult and expensive, and theoretical solutions are possible for simple geometries and boundary conditions, so simulations and numerical calculations are important.
Lectures on heat exchange are conducted in very different ways and cover a very wide range of topics. As part of the work at the Faculty of Mechanics and Aeronautical Energy of the Warsaw University of Technology, a number of auxiliary materials, scripts and books have been prepared, including those equipped with computer-aided teaching process.
The establishment of a new Centre for Transport and Energy Conversion at the Institute of Aviation has inspired the preparation of new assistance for the teaching of Heat Exchange. The basis of the lecture is a Power Point presentation with recorded comments. In this way, the lecture becomes more dynamic and the comments allow for a very important broadening of the information presented on the screen. There are many studies on the market concerning heat exchange processes, and the presented lecture is supposed to enable quick learning about heat exchange processes.
The presented lecture can be divided into two main parts. The first one includes basic knowledge about heat exchange processes with verbal comments emphasizing physical phenomena and their parameters. The second part of the lectures covers selected two areas of energy transport on the way of heat, namely the interaction of laser radiation on solids and the issue of cooling of turbine blades and turbine engines. Both of these areas are discussed in more detail with a presentation of selected research results. These issues were not chosen by chance – they are of great practical importance, and the processes occurring in them are very complex and are the subject of continuous research in the leading research and industrial centers in the world. At the reader’s disposal is printed material – including all presented slides, and an audio CD with presentations and comments. Readers can select a specific lecture and run it on their computers.
