module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module:
- Must understand the theoretical and experimental assessment of
heat, mass, and momentum transfer in ventilated enclosures.
- Must understand the relationship between the thermal comfort,
indoor air quality and health issues and the heat, mass and
momentum transfer in the micro-environment of a human
being
Skills
Students who complete the module:
- Must be able to develop and perform model and/or full-scale
experiments related to fluid flow and contaminant transport in
ventilated enclosures
- Must be able to measure, evaluate and further develop various
flow elements for typical room air distribution systems.
- Must be able to perform CFD simulations in ventilation settings
including the establishment of proper boundary conditions.
- Must have the ability to design and evaluate different types of
air distribution systems in a room and in a building.
Competences
Students who complete the module:
- Must be able to identify and discuss the optimal solution for
an air distribution system based on theory and/or experiments
- Must be able to perform and reflect on experiments related to
personal exposure assessment and contaminant transport
- Must be able to communicate the results of the project work in
a project report
- Must be able to contribute successfully to teamwork within the
problem area and make a common presentation of the result of the
project work
