The globe thermometer in comfort and environmental studies in buildings
The reasons for the inferior performance of many existing buildings and associated energy systems are diverse, but an important part-cause is insufficient attention to the influence of occupant behaviour. In smart buildings it is necessary to allow for the integration of human behaviour in the HVAC system. In addition, many researchers are limited in their investigation by not having low cost t...
متن کاملA field assessment of a prototype meter for measuring the wet-bulb globe-thermometer index.
A prototype electronic instrument for the direct measurement of the wet-bulb globe-thermometer index is described. An assessment is made of its accuracy, as compared with W.B.G.T. indices calculated from conventional thermometric data, and a comparison is made between W.B.G.T. values read from the meter and effective or corrected effective temperatures derived from separate thermometric and air...
متن کاملThermodynamics and historical relevance of a jetting thermometer made of Chinese zisha ceramic
Following a recent trend of scientific studies on artwork, we study here the thermodynamics of a thermometer made of zisha ceramic, related to the Chinese tea culture. The thermometer represents a boy who "urinates" shortly after hot water is poured onto his head. Long jetting distance is said to indicate that the water temperature is hot enough to brew tea. Here, a thermodynamic model describe...
متن کاملOn Thermometer Operation of Ultrasmall Tunnel Junctions
The temperature dependence of the I–V characteristics of many single– electron tunneling devices enable thermometer operation of these systems. We investigate two normal conducting kinds of them, (a) a single junction in a high–impedance environment, and (b) a double junction. The characteristics of both devices show a crossover from Coulomb blockade at low temperatures to ohmic behavior at hig...
متن کاملOn the robustness of the ammonia thermometer
Ammonia inversion lines are often used as probes of the physical conditions in the dense ISM. The excitation temperature between the first two para metastable (rotational) levels is an excellent probe of the gas kinetic temperature. However, the calibration of this ammonia thermometer depends on the accuracy of the collisional rates with H2. Here we present new collisional rates for ortho-NH3 a...
