1) Thursday 02/09 In class Midterm Exam

- I will be in the classroom at 9:20 AM

- Example and solution are posted on the course website

2) FIELD TRIP (HVAC systems) Tuesday 02/11 9:30AM

- Neural and Molecular Science (NMS)

- Meet in front of NMS building

• Tuesday 02/11 at 9:30 AM at

the door on Speedway side

• Do not arrive late !

Review

• What is purpose of psychrometric chart?

• What quantities are on axes?• Diagonal lines?• Curved lines?

• What is significant about the saturation curve?

• How do you find the dew point temperature?

• How to find the enthalpy?

Psychrometric Processes

• What does sensible heating or cooling look like on the chart?• What does sensible mean? What does latent mean?

• Why does some cooling cause dehumidification?• What does an evaporative cooling process look like

on the chart?• When two air streams mix, how do you find the

conditions for the new air stream?

Heat Transfer

• What defines a heat transfer though the wall?

• What are air films and when do you include them in calculations?• What parameters do you need to know for

determining the R-value of an airspace?

• When do you use R-values and when do you use U-values?

Heating and Cooling Loads

• What are the major components of a heating load?• What is the difference for a cooling load

calculation?

• How do you account for heating and cooling loads associated with windows?• With infiltration?

• Why are internal gains and solar gains most relevant for cooling loads?

Heating systems

• What is difference between furnace and boiler?

• What are advantages of water as a heat transfer fluid?

• What are the relevant equations for sizing steam and water pipes?• Where do you get the input data?

• Name four fuels that can be used in a boiler?• Which ones require venting?

Cooling Systems

• What are the differences between vapor compression and absorption cycles?

• What happens to water vapor in an evaporator?

• Does an evaporator have a sensible and a latent capacity?• Does a condenser?

• How the heat pumps work?

Ventilation Systems

• What are the components of AHU?• Which are the major ventilation systems? • Show Air-Conditioning in psychrometric chart. • When to use combination of air and water

systems.• Know the purpose and characteristics of duct

system and fans. • Know the purpose and characteristics of pipe

system and pumps.

Project Assignment 1

• Cover the previous course material • Homeworks• Reading assignments

• Similar to a real-world project

• Preparation for ARE 465 project


• Design the environmental system for large building• Project that you will have next year

• Simplification (one zone for calculation)

• Show the logic for zoning• Select the heating and cooling fuel• Select the heating and cooling source• Select and size the HVAC system• Size the Cooling Coil and analyze the process in AHU


4 Groups (teams) – 4 Different assignments

• Type of buildings– hospital (group 1)– campus building (group 2)– bank (group 3) – hotel (group 4) – shopping mall (group 5)

• Location of the building– Boston MA (group 1) – Chicago IL (group 2) – Iowa City IA (group 3) – Newark NJ (group 4) – Pittsburg (group 5)


EVALUATION• 90 points ~ 9% of your grade

• Second project assignment 60 points

• Each group project will be graded as integral work

• Group member effort and project grade will form your final grade on the project


Project elements

1. Cooling and Heating load of building

2) Zoning

3) Heating and cooling source selection

4) HVAC system selection

5) Air handling Unit

Project Groups

• Total 5

• ????


Suggestions

• Divide the groups into 2 subgroups and split the work • Subgroups should communicate • Have one person in charge for the final project form

• Divide the project into 3-4 sections and each student will work on a small portion• In the case that some student have a problem switch the tasks• Meet at least twice to discus the progress• One person will put together the whole project
