Computational efficiency of model is a key factor which determines its practical application. The paper presents the algorithms which ensure the computational efficiency of a model of the air velocity field. The main step of modelling the air velocity field by means of the diagnostic model is the procedure of adjusting the initial field. The initial wind field is computed by interpolation of da...

A building needs to be designed for the whole period of its useful life according to its requirements. However, future climate predictions involve some uncertainty. Thus, several sustainable strategies of adaptation need to be incorporated after the initial design. In this sense, tunnel ventilation in broiler houses provides high air velocity values (2–3 m·s−1) at animal level to diminish their...

sustainable and energy efficient design issues are key to the way good buildings are designed in the 21st century. no building designer today should be without the basic skills offered by the unique multidisciplinary studies of architectural design, based on energy use in buildings. however, this paper is focusing of effect of air movement on human comfort, as a key element of building design. ...

Paper deals with involvement of external meteorological influences on the shape of Heat Supply Daily Diagram (HSDD), such as air temperature, wind velocity, wind direction, exposure (intensity of solar radiation), air humidity and air pressure. Inclusion of these weather influences results in improvement of HSDD forecast.

In this contribution we investigate the problem of linear velocity estimation of a Gun Launched Micro Air Vehicle (GLMAV), which is a new Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) concept, intended for outdoor flight, and using two-bladed coaxial contra-rotating rotors. The linear velocity estimation is realized using a simple time-varying Luenberger-like observer, and only using partial measurmements of an Iner...

Introduction: The objectives of this study were to determine the air curtain velocities of hood to capture and contain the splashing oil. The optimal flow of air curtain velocities is introduced to apply cooking by pan frying. Methods: At the first stage, palm olein oil was poured to a pan and fried at constant temperature of 180 ± 5 °C for 140 seconds. In the meantime, the 4-air flows, which w...

Air-jet weaving is an advanced weaving method with high efficiency and productivity. It is one of the most widely used methods of weaving in the world. In air-jet filling insertion, the motion of weft yarn is caused by friction between weft yarn and air blown through nozzle. After declamping and subjecting the yarn to air stream, its motion is not active but very complicated and influenced by ...

The effect of air turbulence on the geometric collision kernel of cloud droplets can be predicted if the effects of air turbulence on two kinematic pair statistics can be modeled. The first is the average radial relative velocity and the second is the radial distribution function (RDF). A survey of the literature shows that no theory is available for predicting the radial relative velocity of f...

Draft is one of the most common complaints in the indoor environment. It may be caused by convective air currents along windows and other cold surfaces providing air movement in the occupied zone of heated spaces. The present paper comprises measurements of airflow characteristics (mean velocity, turbulence intenSity, energy spectra of the velocity fluctuations, etc.) in a wide range of spaces ...

BACKGROUND Fanger's PMV equation is the result of the combined quantitative effects of the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, humidity, activity level and clothing insulation. METHODS This paper contains a comparison of suit dresses and summer clothes in terms of thermal comfort, Fanger's PMV equation. Studies were processed in the winter for an office, which lo...
