Class Transfer Phenomena

This Course aims to understand concepts associated with heat and mass transfer, in single and multiphase systems. The student is introduced to the mathematical formulation of the topics covered, focusing on areas associated with unit operations in Engineering. In this sense, from its application and interpretation, the student will be able to design systems and equipment used for heat and mass transfer, from classic industrial production processes to biomedical devices. The relevance of this Course Unit is also completed with the study and modeling of biomedical applications such as cryobiology (in terms of biopreservation and cryosurgery) and hyperthermic biology (thermal therapy).

In lectures, the contents of the syllabus are presented using presentations and simulations, stimulating discussion between the students and the teacher. In theoretical-practical classes, students solve exercises with a progressive transition in complexity. Continuous assessment Continuous assessment consists of two tests (F1 and F2) or one overall test (FG). Each test is weighted at 50%. Minimum grade for passing the course: 10. . Final grade = 50% F1 + 50% F2 or 100% FG If there is no approval by continuous assessment, the student is submitted to an exam. Minimum pass mark: 10 Assessment scale: 0 to 20
