Abstract: This paper presents a design algorithm of involving robust decoupled control of uncertain multivariable feedback systems. Two-degree-of-freedom system structure is adopted to handle the quantitative ...

Abstract: By frequency-domain approach, a synthesis methodology of single-input-single-output optimal control system is developed to ensure closed-loop stability and to minimize a linear quadratic cost function. ...

Abstract: The secondary flow has been used frequently to enhance the convective heat transfer, and at the same flow condition, the intensity of convective heat transfer closely depends on the thermal ...

Abstract: Effective building management strategies require a clear understanding of how occupants perceive their indoor environmental conditions. Despite their important findings, previous studies were mostly limited to single-domain ...

Abstract: The relationship between the demographical characteristics of building occupants and their perception of indoor comfort is increasingly being studied. However, the added value from accounting for such characteristics when ...
