In this work both experimental and numerical analysis are carried out to investigate the effect of solar radiation on the cabin air temperature of Maruti Suzuki Celerio car parked for 90 min under solar load condition. The experimental and numerical analysis encompasses on temperature increment of air at various locations ins...

background: xylene is known as one of the most toxic of the nervous system. the purpose of this study is to estimate the concentration of xylene in the cabin of the vehicles production in iran. also the effect of ventilation, cigarette smoking, and air freshener inside the vehicle, fuel type and car decorations on the concentration of the substance being studied.   methods: 152 vehicles pride a...

High comfort for the driver in working vehicles is an important feature as well as a demand from the drivers. Low noise level is an essential factor for the manufacturer to maintain a high standard and comfort of vehicles. In many cases the noise inside the cabin can be related to the engine orders. Hydraulic pumps and fans are also related to the engine but not necessarily integers of the engi...

A primary difficulty when investigating communication requirements rises when a very specific field as an aircraft cabin is considered. The diverse needs of passengers are often incompatible to the strict constraints inside the cabin. Nowadays, In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems, for instance, are widely spread in modern flights. An IFE system usually consists of a Seat Electronic Box, the p...

This paper presents a cost-effective method to increase the COP and utility of a domestic refrigerator using R-134a refrigerant. A cabin was installed on the top of a domestic refrigerator with condenser coils of refrigerator serving as heating coils inside the cabin. Known quantity of water was heated by the condenser coils (due to convection currents) thereby increasing the overall COP of the...

9 10 Ozone is a major pollutant of indoor air. Many studies have demonstrated the adverse health effect of 11 ozone and the byproducts generated as a result of ozone-initiated reactive chemistry in an indoor 12 environment. This study developed a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model to predict the ozone 13 distribution in an aircraft cabin. The model was used to simulate the distribution of...

air quality inside commuting vehicles has seldom been evaluated in iran. accordingly, this study investigates the levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (btex) during workdays characterized by heavy traffic inside taxis in tehran- iran between may 2009 and october 2010. the totals of 35 personal samples were collected onto solid sorbent tubes and the concentration of volatile organ...
