Learning Outcomes
- compile governing equations and boundary conditions for coupled flow, heat and component mass transport problem typically involved in deep, hot and humid mines and select solution methods.
- analyze simple flow and thermal transport problems with network models numerically in steady state and time-dependent applications.
- apply the transport model solutions to analyze the thermal environment for the safety of the human workers in a hot and humid site.
