Abstract: A meteorological monitoring station was operated at Blytheville, Arkansas, from April 1978 to April 1980. Direct normal, global, and diffuse sky radiation were monitored. From these data, models ...

Abstract: The modeling of direct normal solar radiation from measured global solar radiation is discussed and a new direct normal model developed from the Mississippi County Community College solar ...

Abstract: The combined-cycle cogeneration facility on the central campus of Texas A&M University was analyzed for its present performance and an optimized mode of operation. The analysis was carried ...

Abstract: In developing an analytical model of radiative heat transfer inside attics, the necessity of calculating the shape factor from a small rectangle to a triangular plane may arise. This paper ...

Abstract: This paper describes a transient heat and mass transfer model of residential attics. The model is used to predict hourly ceiling heat gain/loss in residences with the purpose of estimating ...

Abstract: Continuous Commissioning (CCSM ) is an ongoing process to resolve operating problems, improve comfort, optimize energy use, and identify retrofits for existing commercial and institutional buildings ...

Abstract: A computer program was developed and used to implement the model described on Part I of this paper. The program used an iterative process to predict temperatures and heat fluxes using linear ...

Abstract: To improve system efficiency under part-load conditions, the supply air temperature set point for a single-duct constant air volume air handling unit (AHU) system is often reset based on either return air temperature or ...
