Environment and Computer Laboratory: Air Quality Measurement Techniques

102-0528-01L, 10 credits, spring Semester

Lecturer: D. Braun, J. Wang, J. Blagojevic, A. Costa, M. Holzner, J. Jimenez-Martinez, S. Li, M. Maurer, Z. Wang, M. Willmann

Abstract

In the Experimental and Computer Laboratory students are introduced to research and good scientific practice. Experiments are conducted in different disciplines of environmental engineering. Data collected during experiments are compared to the corresponding numeric simulations. The results are documented in reports or presentations.

Objective

The student will learn the following skills: basic scientific work, planning and conducting scientific experiments, uncertainty estimations of measurements, applied numerical simulations, modern sensor technology, writing reports.

Module of AIR

The module studying air quality measurements is run by J. Wang and its completion provides 2 credits.  

Objectives  

• To learn measurement techniques of airborne particles and gas pollutants
• To understand mechanism of particle generation, transport and loss
• To understand control technologies of airborne pollutants
• To model airborne pollutant concentration under different conditions
