Learning outcomes
Determine which modes of heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation) and/or mass transfer (diffusive and convective) are occurring in a given problem
Identify key assumptions (e.g. steady state vs transient) that lead to a solution procedure.
Formulate solutions for common engineering problem using a combination of analytical equations, dimensional analysis, and empirical correlations
Critically analyse the solution with respect to clarity (communicating the solution to engineers and managers), effects of errors, validity of assumptions, and how the solution(s) can be used to provide operational advice.
Conduct self-directed learning using common textbooks, online tools and reference texts, in order to prepare for laboratory sessions and assignments (including preparation for self-directed life-long learning beyond tertiary education).
Teaching approach
Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 50%
Final assessment: 50%
This unit contains hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
