Asymmetric Graetz Problem: The Analytical Solution Revisited
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2017-01-01)Forced-convective heat transfer from the walls of an asymmetrically heated channel to the fluid passing through in a laminar, hydrodynamically developed flow is known as the asymmetric Graetz problem. Several analytical ... -
Calculating Center-Glass Performance Indices of Glazing Systems with Shading Devices
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2008)Building energy consumption and loads are strongly influ-enced by solar gain and heat transfer through the centre-glass area of windows. Methods have been devised to calculate the corresponding energy performance indices ... -
Calculating the Solar Heat Gain of Window Frames
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1999)It is not practical to measure the solar heat gain of a window frame. It is more practical to do so by calculation. Typically, the frame solar heat gain is a small component of the total or is small in absolute terms so ... -
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 Comparison of Calculated and Measured Indoor-Side Window Temperature Profiles
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2003)Computer-generated surface temperature profiles are presented for the indoor side, vertical centerline of two windows and a calibration transfer standard (CTS). These specific configurations were chosen because they match ... -
Computer Simulation of Window Condensation Potential
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1998-12)Condensation on windows creates obscured view, can cause building damage, and may lead to mold growth and poor indoor air quality. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has developed new procedures to evaluate window ... -
Convective Heat Transfer In Hydrodynamically-Developed Laminar Flow In Asymmetrically-Heated Annuli: A Three-Temperature Problem
