• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
• Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
• Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

Understand, analyse and solve heat transfer problems : - identify and explain the involved physical phenomena; - write the equations of the problem (energy balance, heat fluxes, ...); - evaluate the equations parameters (heat transfer coefficients, physical properties, geometrical factors, ...) ; - develop and apply the appropriate solution method of the equations.
