Læringsmål

Get a systematic overview over material, energy and momentum balance equations and transfer rate equations (transport processes). Be able to use these equations for dimensioning of pipes, pumps, heat exchangers and filters,

and also cylinder walls and gas/particle flow.

Learn to derive the conservation equations of fluiddynamics and to solve them with numerical methods and algorithms. Learn how to model turbulence.
