PH8201 Syllabus OBJECTIVE:
PH8201 To introduce the principles of thermal, acoustics, optics and new materials for civil engineering applications.
PH8201 syllabus UNIT I THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS
Heat transfer through fenestrations, thermal insulation and its benefits. Heat gain and heat loss estimation – factors affecting the thermal performance of buildings.
Thermal measurements, thermal comfort, indices of thermal comfort, climate and design of solar radiation, shading devices Central heating. Principles of natural ventilation – ventilation measurements, design for natural
ventilation. Window types and packaged air conditioners – chilled water plant – fan coil systems – water piping – cooling load. Air conditioning systems for different types of buildings – Protection
against fire to be caused by A.C.Systems.
PH8201 syllabus UNIT II ACOUSTICS
Classification of sound- decibel- Weber–Fechner law – Sabine’s formula- derivation using growth and decay method. Absorption Coefficient and its determination –factors affecting acoustics of buildings and their remedies. Methods of sound absorptions – absorbing materials – noise and its measurements, sound insulation and its measurements, impact of noise in multi-storeyed buildings.
PH8201 syllabus UNIT III LIGHTING DESIGNS
