his course is aimed at end-of-cycle LMD students in the mechanical engineering discipline.
The energy consumed worldwide primarily comes from two sources: the combustion of fossil
reserves (such as oil, coal, and natural gas) and renewable resources (such as solar, wind,
hydroelectric, and biomass energy). Regardless of the technologies used, the mastery of
nuclear energy, solar thermal energy, deep geothermal energy, or heat pumps relies heavily on
the principles of thermal transfers.
Thermal transfers also play a crucial role in the efficiency of propulsion systems, energy
production systems, and most industrial or everyday systems, such as electronic devices.
Effective thermal management is essential to optimize the performance and durability of these
systems. Therefore, thermal transfers constitute a key science for the energy of the future.
This course is based on the professional experience of the author, a teacher at the University
of Mustapha Stambouli of Mascara. It is organized into three chapters:
1. First Part: Approach to Thermal Transfers by Conduction
- Intended for third-year undergraduate students, this part offers a comprehensive
introduction to the discipline with minimal formalism. The different modes of transfer,
including conduction and thermal radiation, are gradually introduced with a focus on the
physical approach to phenomena. The goal is to make the concepts accessible without
excessive complexity.
2. Second and Third Chapters: One-Dimensional Applications
- These chapters are dedicated to practical applications of thermal transfers, generally in one
dimension, to simplify the complex mathematical and numerical aspects related to
sophisticated geometries. This simplification allows students to focus on fundamental
principles without being overwhelmed by complicated calculations.
3. Immediate Application Exercises - Throughout the chapters, practical solved exercises are
included to illustrate theoretical concepts and facilitate understanding. These exercises are
designed to reinforce learning by providing concrete and immediately applicable examples.
This course aims to provide students with a solid foundation in thermal transfers, essential for
their education and future careers in the field of energy and thermal sciences.
