Modelling Heat Transfer: One-Dimensional Steady-State Heat Transfer

Synopsis: Investigates the practical usefulness of simple models of heat transfer, particularly conduction, using as an example the thermal insulation properties of building materials. Looks at the performance of fibrous roof insulation materials and the properties of polymeric materials in wall structures. The experiments comprise the careful measurement of temperature and heat transfer rates. It turns out that heat transfer in building can be adequately modelled by one-dimensional steady-state models.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
