The present paper was concerned primarily with the analysis, simulation of the air flow and thermal patterns in a lecture room. The paper is devoted to numerically investigate the influence of location and number of ventilation and air conditioning supply and extracts openings on air flow properties in a lecture room. The work focuses on air flow patterns, thermal behaviour in lecture room wher...

Of evaporative cooling or energy recovery potential in HVAC, the conventional thermodynamic analysis is based on the enthalpy of moist air. In fact, the available energy of moist air is its exergy and the available energy saving potential ought to be the exergy. Isoexergic lines on psychometric charts associated with different ambient states persuade us that exergy and enthalpy are completely i...

Evaluation of effectiveness of air handling systems for cooling and ventilation is either non-existent or based on thumb rules. There is lack of quantifiable metrics to assess the performance of these systems vis-à-vis the environment. With the advent of high density, mission-critical datacenters and high energy demands it is necessary to develop metrics to evaluate the effectiveness and effici...

We are in an age where people are paying increasing attention to energy conservation around the world. The heating and air-conditioning systems of buildings introduce one of the largest chunk of energy expenses. In this paper, we make a key observation that after a meeting or a class ends in a room, the indoor temperature will not immediately increase to the outdoor temperature. We call this ph...

In this paper, a new technique is being proposed to estimate the PMV by using an array of sensors for the automatic control of thermal sensation scale of the air conditioning system. The predicted mean vote (PMV) is a well recognized thermal comfort index and is used for measuring comfort level inside the conditioned space. It is a mathematical function dependent on air temperature, relative hu...

nowadays, one of the greatest energy consumption sources in the world is recognized as hvac systems, which are used vastly not only for industrial productions but also for creating comfort condition in dwellings. since beginning of warm or cold season, we will need a source of energy to reach desirable thermal conditions inside a building. also, earth is naturally a great thermal source, which ...
