Detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled elbows-Measurements and computational fluid dynamics predictions (RP-1682)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)This article presents a systematic study to measure detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 305�mm (12 in) and turning radii r/D = 1.5, and to, likewise, predict the velocity ... -
Optimal Determination of Respiratory Airflow Patterns for a General Multicompartment Lung Mechanics System with Nonlinear Resistance and Compliance Parameters
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2015 , Article)In this paper, we develop a framework for determining optimal respiratory airflow patterns for a multicompartment lung mechanics system with nonlinear resistance and compliance parameters. First, a nonlinear multicompartment ... -
Passive pre-cooling potential for reducing building air-conditioning loads in hot climates
( American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) , 2014 , Conference Paper)A major source of energy consumption in the building sector is the extensive use of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the rising demands for indoor comfort. Advancements in reducing cooling ...
