The shape of the air flow in the interior is heavily influenced by the air distribution system and the way air enters and exits. By numerically simulating flow by computational fluid dynamics, one can determine the flow pattern and temperature distribution and, with the help of the results, provide an optimal design of the air conditioning system. In this study, a chamber was first constructed ...

This paper presents a theoretical model and a numerical simulation of a liquid-gas two-phase flow within a microchannel (50 500 2 m m cm μ μ × × ) equipped with distributed liquid water injection through the side walls. The modeling and solution of the conservation equations provide pressure drop as a function of inlet velocity. The influence of different parameters involving water injection is...

An air-cooling battery thermal management system is a reliable and cost-effective to control the operating temperatures of electric vehicle pack within an ideal range. Different from most designs rectangular in previous research, this one proposed novel isosceles trapezoid layout improve heat dissipations. The simulation results showed that design delivered better cooling performances than with...

As for a variable air volume (VAV) system, the air duct static pressure is a typical control variable maintained by modulating supply fan speed. The static pressure equals to the summation of the duct pressure loss downstream of the sensor to the terminal box and box inlet static pressure. Typically, the air duct static pressure is set as a constant set point based on the system design informat...

The aim of the present research is to simulate the heat treatment process of the autogenous grinding (AG) shell liner of Cr-Mo steel in different quenching media (still air, air blowing, oil and water) using ABAQUS software, in order to calculate the cooling curves. In this regard, the microstructure and hardness for each arbitrary point within the mill liner's bulk could be predicted based on ...

In this paper, exergy of conditioned air, exergy efficiency, irreversibility, and entropy generation of common models of evaporative cooling have been investigated in five cities of Iran. Direct evaporative cooling (DEC), indirect evaporative cooling (IEC), and two-stage IEC/DEC as the most popular methods of cooling have been modeled. Atmospheric conditions are considered as the dead state of ...

This experimental study aims to investigate and analyze the performance of a Water-Air Heat Exchanger that functions as passive cooling in building ventilation system tropics. Before being blown into room, high-temperature outdoor air will be passively cooled by lower-temperature water. Air driven an Inline Duct Fan with constant mass flow rate 4.68 cubic meters per minute flows through PVC hos...

a thermodynamic analysis of the counter flow wet cooling tower (cwct) in the steelmaking unit of the khuzestan steel company (ksc) is performed in this paper. we evaluated both energy and exergy formulations for analyzing the heat and mass transfer, exergy and second-law efficiency in this cooling tower. the lewis factor le f is an indication of the relative rates of heat and mass transfer in a...

Bu çalışmada, hava giriş konumu ve hızının, hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği (HAD) simülasyonları kullanılarak elektrikli araçlarda (EA'lar) nikel-metal hidrür (Ni-MH) batarya paketinin soğutma performansı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. EA'lara olan talebin artması, araçların güvenliğini sağlamak için gelişmiş performansına ihtiyaç duyulmasına neden olmuştur. Ni-MH takımının performansı, 0 ila...
