7. My Quirks Please don’t come to my office between 1 and 2 pm on Tuesday and Thursday Class preparation and teaching time Please don’t use e-mail to ask me “content” questions Call me or come see me I care about your learning I listen to your comments The more specific the better

8. What have you heard about this class? Too hard (18 of 23 students) Covering less material in more depth Want more applied material (10 of 23 students) Applied problem solving classes Take home exams (3 over course of semester) Final project configured to be easier Take home exam was too hard (22 of 23 students) Will make them easier

9. 1.Apply fundamental physical principles to HVAC design 2.Describe and size each component in an HVAC system 3.Design HVAC systems based on manufacturer’s datasheets 4.Contrast residential systems with commercial systems and use appropriate design techniques for each type of system 5.Solve HVAC design problems with high-quality references Course Objectives By taking this class you will be able to..

10. This is a skills class I expect you to come away from this class and be able to understand everything that you see in HVAC system or know where to go to learn about it. You will be able to size most HVAC components and design smaller systems

11. Kuehn, T.H.; Ramsey, J.W.; Threlkeld, J.L. 1998. Thermal Environmental Engineering (3rd Edition) Prentice Hall ISBN: 0139172203 NOTE VERSION ISSUE: Reprinted with corrections, 2001 First edition was 1962 Excellent graduate textbook Thorough, fundamental, many examples Look forward to your opinion (16 of 23 liked it in 2004) Other books are optional Textbook

12. Midterm (take home)25% Projects25% Homework Assignments45% Participation5% 100% Homework is a large part of your grade ~ Weekly assignments, tapering off by end of semester 10% penalty per day for late assignments You are allowed to work together, but each student must prepare their own solution Copying is expressly forbidden by UT policy Grading

13. Other Notes About Grading Last year 19 A, 3 B, 1 C Class is hard, but I reward effort If you do a good job on all assignments, exams, and projects, you will get an A I have no problem giving As to everyone in the class. (I also have no problem giving Cs to everyone in the class)

14. Take Home Exams You will have a weekend to do each exam (except for last one You must work alone Open book/open notes Expect them to be challenging 25% of final grade

15. Participation My assessment of your participation in the class 5% of total grade How to get participation points Come to class and be on time Submit all assignments/project on time Participate in class

16. Project- Component Based Learning You will have some choice in topic area Project assigned 9/20 Write-up due 12/8 Presentation 12/6 25% of final grade

20. Missed Classes Very unfortunate, but I need to miss next two classes (9/6 and 9/8) Indoor Air 2005 in Beijing (Every three years, most important conference in my field)Indoor Air 2005 Authored 4 papers, 2 Forums, Chairing 1 session Numerous meetings Video-recorded 2 lectures On class website Dr. Novoselac has agreed to answer any questions

21. Any Questions ?

22. Why HVAC? Heating, cooling, ventilation (of buildings) Energy and mass transfer between inside and outside Energy and mass transfer within buildings

23. Cooling coil Heat transfer from air to refrigerant Extended surface coil Drain Pain Removes moisture condensed from air stream Condenser Expansion valve Controls Compressor

24. Heating coil Heat transfer from refrigerant to air Heat pump Furnace Boiler Electric resistance Controls

25. Blower Overcome pressure drop of system Adds heat to air stream Makes noise Potential hazard Performs differently at different conditions (air flow and pressure drop)

26. Duct system (piping for hydronic systems) Distribute conditioned air Remove air from space Provides ventilation Makes noise Affects comfort Affects indoor air quality

27. Diffusers Distribute conditioned air within room Provides ventilation Makes noise Affects comfort Affects indoor air quality

28. Dampers Change airflow amounts Controls outside air fraction Affects building security

29. Filter Removes pollutants Protects equipment Imposes substantial pressure drop Requires Maintenance

30. Controls Makes everything work Temperature Pressure (drop) Air velocity Volumetric flow Relative humidity Enthalpy Electrical Current Electrical cost Fault detection

31. Goals of this class Use thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, control theory, physics, critical analysis to design HVAC systems that work
