Determination of convective heat transfer for fenestration with between-the-glass louvered shades
(Elsevier, 2008-06-01)
In previous work, a two-dimensional steady laminar natural convection model of a window cavity with between-panes louvers (i.e., slats) was developed by approximating the system as a vertical cavity with isothermal walls ...
Calculating Window Solar Heat Gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-07)
Window design has been revolutionized-largely by the introduction of low emissivity (low-e) coatings and substitute fill gases. The large number of design options necessitates the use of computer simulation for development ...
A two-dimensional numerical model for natural convection in a vertical, rectangular window cavity
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1994-12-31)
It is common for sealed glazing units to exhibit condensation problems when operated in cold climates. Condensation often forms along the perimeter of the exposed surface of the indoor glazing because of the thermal short ...
Mitigation of Peak Cooling Demand through the Combination of Residential Zoned Cooling and Window Shading: A Building Simulation Case Study
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2014-05)
The present study expands on previous building simulation work con-cerning the potential benefits of residential zoned cooling systems during peak summer days. Such zoned systems provide an opportunity for peak reduction ...
The Formation and Runoff of Condensate on a Vertical Glass Surface
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2014)
An experimental study of condensate formation and runoff was performed by exposing a sheet of glass, cooled at its bottom edge, to an enclosure with a controlled environment. This arrangement mimics the indoor glass surface ...
A Simplified Numerical Method for Assessing the Condensation Resistance of Windows
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998)
Methods have been established for calculating heat transfer in windows whereby a one-dimensional analysis is used for the center-glass area and a two-dimensional numerical calculation is used to model conduction in the ...
A Correlation to Quantify Convective Heat Transfer Between Vertical Window Glazings
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)
Several correlations have been used in recent years for the purpose of calculating convective, centre-glass heat transfer rates across gas-filled interpane window cavities. These correlations are examined and their background ...
Summary and comparison of methods to calculate solar heat gain
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1995-08)
Methods used to calculate the solar gain of windows (including center-glass, edge-glass, and frame) are examined and compared Particular attention is devoted to the public-domain computer programs VISION3 and WINDOW 4.1. ...
Sensitivity of the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of Complex Fenestration Systems to the Indoor Convection Coefficient
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2016)
Accurate estimation of the solar gain of a fenestration system is important in analyzing the energy performance of buildings. Recently, models were developed for complex fenestration systems – glazing systems with attachments ...
Forced Convection From a Pair Of Spheres: A Three-Temperature Problem
(2015-05)
Interaction of spherical particles in a fluid flow is important in combustion, chemical processes and air pollution. In this study, a recently developed technique for characterizing multi-temperature convective heat transfer ...
