Paper Details

This configuration has many advantages from the point of view of comfort and medical assistance, but itimplies an important restriction as far as ventilation is concerned. Numerical model solves mass, momentum and meanage of air equations assuming isothermal and stationary flow. Ventilation is evaluated analyzing the age of air and thevelocity fields inside the room. The results with the initial architectural design of the room show very deficient ventilationat the occupant’s site. Alternative configurations have been studied, allowing for correct ventilation without renouncingto the assistance advantages. Finally, the optimum configuration of the room is provided, regarding both the comfort ofthe occupants and the cost of execution.The present work focuses on the room air flow pattern in terms of temperature and velocity along with thermal comfortquantification by varying clothing index cfd study. Room air flow pattern in the two test rooms, University conferencehall and RAC Lab are studied under four conditions; natural, only fan, only AC, fan with AC. Effect of air conditionerposition on the room air flow pattern is also studied. Thermal comfort is quantified using standard ASHRAE sensationalequation based on the feelings of the four B. Tech students at various clothing index and exposure period. The con tour ofthe flow patterns are plotted using ORIGIN 6.1 software.
