By the end of the course students will;
identify the moist air properties using thermodynamic relations and psychrometric chart and illustrate and discuss elementary psychrometric processes
describe the arrangement and operational features of direct contact transfer devices in connection with HVAC&R systems and outline the thermodynamic processes in them on psychrometric chart
adapt the results and outcomes of thermodynamic and psychrometric analysis of sensible heating/cooling, cooling-dehumidification processes to coil design problem
judge physiological interactions between occupant vs. enclosure and body’s energy balance including metabolic vs. dissipative mechanisms
examine the heat and mass interactions of a building with the surroundings and perform the corresponding analysis
list the types and operation mechanisms of various heating appliances used in warm water heating systems and correlate the heating load requirement and its impact on initial and operational costs of warm water heating system
