Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an effective tool to obtain the air flow circulation in a room, and identify the recirculation zones. It can predict the air residence time and the time scale of evacuation of pollutants. The CFD model prediction
The project developed inexpensive paper-polymer based sensors for measuring VOC-s in breath. The project aims to extend this towards monitoring other compounds which have a negative impact on indoor air quality.
The project propose a hybrid measurement-modelling approach to assess and deploy sensor-based ventilation controls (windows, fans, exhausts, HVAC systems). Demonstration of low cost, commercial CO2 sensors as a proxy for ventilation effectiveness and
The project plans to put exhaust fan near the ceiling on disrupting the stratification and its consequent effect on ventilation remains unclear. Itwill employ high-fidelity CFD simulations to understand the flow and thermal fields in the presence of
The objective of project is to build a model classroom of geometrically similar dimensions of an actual classroom of IIT Bombay. The model classroom will be fitted with exhaust fans. Fans may be fitted on the roof of the model class room to mimic the
The project plans to measure the concentration of a bacteria in a model scaled-down room. The bacteria will be aerosolized in a controlled manner. The experimental data will be compared with the air flow pattern computed using CFD and that based on v
It is proposed to develop a dedicated test bed for ventilation experiments. It will simulate the airflow in the class room with full-scale ceiling and exhaust fans, doors and windows, and furniture and mannequins.
The project aims to establish a method for characterization of airborne viruses from various environments. This objective will give us an idea on the virus load (both pathogenic and non-pathogenic) and helps in parameter optimization for various inac
5 to 6 different models for light weight module transfers for digital education Test report with comparative analysis of the different modes and digital transfer Pilot implementation report of the different lightweight models with recommendations Sca
The proposed project aims to create an online, low-bandwidth education and prototype development platform for Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) by providing a web-server with connected Io
