OPTIMAL DESIGN OF AN AIR JET FOR SPOT COOLING.

Author(s) : HWANG C. L., TILLMAN F. A., LIN M. J.

Summary

IN A HEAT-STRESSED INDUSTRY WHERE THERE ARE COMPARATIVELY FEW WORKERS, TOTAL AREA AIR CONDITIONING IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. IN SUCH SITUATIONS, SPOT (AREA OR LOCALIZED) COOLING SYSTEMS MAY BE USED. THE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM IS TO MINIMIZE THE SYSTEM'S ENERGY REQUIREMENT BY DETERMINING THE OPTIMUM JET SIZE, COOLING JET AIR VELOCITY, AND THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY FROM A REFRIGERATING SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES THE PROPER ENVIRONMENT FOR WORKERS WITHIN THE PERMISSIBLE PHYSIOLOGICAL STRAIN.
