EY4102 Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Syllabus:

EY4102 Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. To make students familiarize with the application of conservation equations
2. To explain the incompressible and compressible fluid flow concepts
3. To inculcate the analysis of conduction and gas radiation heat transfer
4. To provide the details of turbulent forced convective heat transfer
5. To impart the knowledge of design of single phase and multi-phase heat exchangers

UNIT– I BASIC EQUATION, POTENTIAL FLOW AND BOUNDARY LAYER THEORY

Three dimensional forms of governing equations – Mass, Momentum and Energy equations and their engineering applications. Rotational and irrotational flows – vorticity – stream and potential functions. Boundary Layer–displacement, momentum and energy thickness–laminar and turbulent boundary layers in flat plates and circular pipes.

UNIT– II INCOMPRESSIBLE AND COMPRESSIBLE FLOWS

Laminar flow between parallel plates– flow through circular pipe– friction factor– smooth and rough pipes – Moody diagram – losses during flow through pipes. Pipes in series and parallel – transmission of power through pipes. One dimensional compressible flow analysis – flow through variable area passage–nozzles and diffusers.

UNIT–III CONDUCTION AND RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER

Governing Equation and Boundary conditions, Extended surface heat transfer, Transient Conduction – Use of Heisler -Grober charts, Conduction with moving boundaries, Stefan and Neumann problem –Gas Radiation.

UNIT– IV TURBULENT FORCED CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER

Turbulence theory–mixing length concept –turbulence model–k Є model–analogy between heat and momentum transfer–Reynolds, Colburn, Prandtl turbulent flow in a tube–high speed flows.

UNIT– V PHASE CHANGE HEAT TRANSFER AND HEAT EXCHANGER

Condensation on bank of tubes–boiling–pool and flow boiling, Heat exchanger–Є–NTU approach and design procedure–compact heat exchanger.

TOTAL: 60 PERIODS
