Course Objective

Thermophysical properties data of materials and structures is necessary for designing and managing the heat in most of the engineering process. The aim of this course is to provide general understanding on the thermophysical properties of the materials, and physical, technical basics and experimental understanding on the methods for the measurement of these properties.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Learning the importance of thermophysical properties data of materials
2   Learning the determination, measurement and evaluation of thermophysical properties
3   Analyses the results of thermophysical properties measurements by using mathematical models
4   Propose a suitable measurement method for thermophysical characterization of materials
5   To design, measure and evaluate the experiments for determination of thermophysical properties for any given materials
