Aim

Introduction to physical modeling of heat and moisture transport in building structures.

Outcome

Knowledge for development and solution of physical models for heat and moisture transport. Skills  in usage of various software packages for analysis and simulation of the thermo-diffusion processes in the building elements. 

Contents

 

1.     Introduction in physics of thermo-diffusion processes. Equations of convective, conductive and radiative heat transfer.  Moisture transport equation in various media (convection and diffusion of moisture). Diffusion in porous media. Equations of mass, energy and impulse transport.

2.     1D and multidimensional ( 2D and 3D) models for non steady states heat and diffusion problems. Anallytical solutions of the standard problems for diffusion of heat and moisture in walls. Multilayered walls.

3.     Heat loss in buildings by conduction and ventilation. Influence of the external factors to the heat loss of buildings: temperature, external humidity of air, wind, solar radiation and building orientation.

4.     Domestic and international standards in building physics.

5.     Numerical methods and technics in thermo-diffusion. Numerical solutions of coupled heat and diffusion equations.

 

6.     Simulation of heat and moisture transport in walls of buildings.
