Experimental measurements and characteristics of the supply air 'ventilated' window.

Author(s) : SOUTHALL R. G., MCEVOY M., LITTLER J.

Summary

An experimental set-up has been designed to test the performance of the window under various conditions. The behaviour of the window is shown, and the factors dictating its performance discussed. The transition between laminar and turbulent airflow has a marked affect on the window properties, and a new relationship involving Grashof and Reynolds numbers is shown to determine the conditions under which this occurs. Experimental results are compared with a computer simulation, which is then used to investigate the optimum design of window. Finally, the potential benefits of the window are discussed.
