Contents
To understand the heat transfer on the micro-scale, several molecular aspects are treated first and then extended to the micro- and macro-scale. The course is subdivided into three blocks:
- Conduction on the molecular level for
- Ideal gasses
- Fluids
- Solids
- Multi-scale modelling of convection using
- Molecular Dynamics
- Monte Carlo techniques
- Lattice Gas and Lattice Boltzmann methods
- Radiation
- The dual character of radiation
- Interactions of photons
- Length and time scales
Learning objectives
The aim of this course to understand the heat transfer phenomena on micro-scale level and to apply the knowledge to the design of, for example, micro-cooling systems and solar cells.
