CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN BUILDINGS: RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS.

Author(s) : BAUMAN F.

Summary

THE CONVECTIVE PROCESSES INVESTIGATED ARE (1) NATURAL CONVECTIVE HEAT-TRANSFER BETWEEN ROOM SURFACES AND THE ADJACENT AIR, (2) NATURAL CONVECTIVE HEAT-TRANSFER BETWEEN ADJACENT ROOMS THROUGH A DOORWAY OR OTHER OPENINGS, AND (3) FORCED CONVECTION BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND ITS EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT. SURFACE CONVECTION COEFFICIENTS ARE COMPARED WITH EXISTING ASHRAE CORRELATIONS, AND DIFFERENCES OF AS MUCH AS 50% ARE OBSERVED. SUCH DIFFERENCES CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ACCURACY OF BUILDING ENERGY ANALYSIS COMPUTER SIMULATIONS. INTERZONE COUPLING CORRELATIONS FROM EXPERIMENTAL WORK ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH PUBLISHED EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS.
