[ 1 ] - Design and operation optimization of an air conditioning system through simulation: an hour-by-hour simulation study

In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...

[ 2 ] - شبیه سازی عددی خزه های دریایی چسبیده به بدنه شناورها و بکارگیری روشهای کاربردی و نوین به منظور کاهش نیروی درگ ناشی از آنها

In this research, the effects of foulings on the outer surface of a marine vessel have been studied using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods. To this end, a proper turbulence model was considered and validated for the simulations. The simulation results for different fouling grades indicated that existing of a thin layer of slime could make 4.58 % increase in drag force; however, fo...

[ 3 ] - Application of Solar Thermal Collectors to Improve the Energy Performance of the Fresh Air HVAC Systems

 In the preset study, the performance of a solar assisted heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in an operating theater building was studied. The yearly performances of the existing HVAC system and the system with the added solar collectors were simulated in terms of energy consumption and provided air conditions using a transient system simulation software (TRNSYS). In t...

[ 4 ] - A Review on the Drag Reduction Methods of the Ship Hulls for Improving the Hydrodynamic Performance

Hydrodynamic performance of a marine vessel mainly depends on the frictional and pressure resistance. Pressure drag reduction could be achieved by improving the shape of the vessels with implementation of modern hull forms. Hull forms optimization techniques could also be used for this purpose. Other techniques are needed to deal with the viscous portion of the total resistance, which is mainly...
