Prerequisites
Students are expected to master the following skills: the basics of Continuum mechanics, as they are covered within the course LMECA1901, the basics of Thermodynamics, as they are covered within the course LMECA1855, and the basics of Fluid mechanics and heat transfer, as they are covered within the course LMECA1321
Main themes
This course presents the physics of heat and mass transfer phenomena and the tools used by engineers to compute transfers in practical applications. The course complements to the prerequisite knowledge of conductive and convective heat transfer and presents the basis of radiative heat transfer and of mass transfer. The heat exchanger application is presented because of its importance in engineering and because it allows to familiarize the students with more complex heat transfer problems with combined heat transfer mechanisms.
Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
