Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer

Base Knowledge

Physics, Mathematics

Teaching Methodologies

Expository classes to present the theoretical content. Practical classes for solving application exercises.

Learning Results

1. Perform calculations with fundamental quantities and knowledge of Fluid Mechanics, such as viscosity, pressure, principle of conservation of mass, principle of conservation of energy and viscous dissipation;

2. Apply the basic principles to the derivation of the equations that govern the behavior of fluids in motion, namely the Bernoulli equation and the energy conservation equation;

3. Solve problems involving knowledge and understanding of fluid flow through pipes and distinction between laminar and turbulent regimes;

4. Calculate pressure losses in a pipeline and associated accidents;

5. Identify and define physical and mathematical heat transfer mechanisms;

6. Solve heat transfer problems with the association of thermal resistances in series and parallel;

6. Calculate, through empirical relationships, the heat transfer coefficients for forced and natural convection.
