Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUSE OF COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMIC TO PREDICT AIRFLOW AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH AN UNDER FLOOR AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMAbd Alnasser Almate A. Ali, Ahmed Cherif Megri, Paul A. Dellenback, Yao YuOur objective is to demonstrate the use of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) in building applications. In particular, CFD has been used for temperature and airflow predictions of building spaces conditioned using Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) System. The space used is an instrumented laboratory room (old daycare center) located at the University of Wyoming. The use of the CFD simulation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 11 Apr 2014 · 8,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation of Airflow and Aerodynamic Forces Acting on a Rotating Turbine VentilatorA.S. Farahani, N.M. Adam, M.K.A. AriffinProblem statement: Rotating turbine ventilators were generally found in most countries. They were simple in structure, light in weight and cheap to install. It was quite surprising that, the aerodynamics of this common device had not been numerically examined and the design process of most of these ventilators had developed progressively through trial and error methods. Approach: This study was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsField Evaluation of a Pneumatic Prototype Machine Designed to Control the Colorado Potato Beetle in Potato CropsSaad Almady, Mohamed KhelifiThe Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824, is a major insect pest of potato plants. It can greatly reduce potato yields if left uncontrolled. The most effective method of controlling the CPB is to apply chemical insecticides during its life cycle. However, the CPB tends to develop resistance to chemicals. Therefore, its control is difficult. This has prompted … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2022 · 6,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign and Experimental Investigation of a Novel Solar Collector with a W-Shape CoverEdoun Marcel, Djimasra Bonheur, Kuitche Alexis, Zeghmati BelkacemIn the current study, we developed and tested a new type of solar collector named W-shape solar collector. It is a solar collector with single air pass between the transparent cover and the absorber. The cover has double glass whereby the upper glass is flat and the lower glass is w-shape. The absorber is also W-shape. This combination gave rise … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2019 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTHE USE OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MULTI-ROOM MODELING APPROACH-APPLICATION TO BUILDING POLLUTION TRANSPORT AND EFFICIENCY OF OFF-HOUR VENTILATIONAhmed Cherif MegriSeveral building simulation programs have been developed for design, analysis and prediction of the distribution of temperature, airflow and heat transfer between inside and outside of a building and/or between different zones of the same building. These programs are categorized as mono-zone models, multi-room models, zonal models, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and multi-zone models. The number of computer programs … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,768 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Surface Morphology and Effectiveness of Common Nasopharyngeal Masks: A Case of Kathmandu, NepalPrasidha Raj Neupane, Iswor Bajracharya, Sunil Babu KhatryFacemasks are widely used worldwide to prevent inhaling airborneparticles and viruses, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19. To assess theeffectiveness of various facemasks against PM10 and PM2.5,experiments with a mannequin head were conducted at 10 and 55 LPM airflowrates. A total of 38 masks, including 26 CMs, 7 SMs, and 5 N95 masks, weretested against PM10 and PM2.5 at 55 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 7 Dec 2023 · 5,821 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Control Strategy for Parallel Fan-Powered VAV SystemsNabil Nassif, Iffat Ridwana, Mostafa Tahmasebi, Pejman EbrahimiASHRAE Guideline 36 recommends resetting the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) for Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems to balance fan power, heating and cooling loads and zone reheat requirements. This is achieved by employing a trim and response algorithm in conjunction with using the outside air temperature and readings from zone cooling loops. However, resetting the SAT for the VAV systems … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2022 · 10,353 accessesView PDFCite
