AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES This module develops specific training in heat transfer, analyzing the three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation. Applications to buildings and their systems are then considered. The principles of the thermodynamics of moist air are introduced, along with their applications to air conditioning systems and phenomena such as surface and interstitial condensation. An introduction to electrical systems completes the course. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Please refer to what is written for the course of Applied Physics. TEACHING METHODS Please refer to what is written for the course of Applied Physics. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Heat Transfer in Buildings: Thermal behavior of transparent walls.
