Psychrometric chart as a basis for outdoor thermal analysis

psychrometric chart as a basis for outdoor thermal analysis

preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. if the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have been...

Grapsi_Draw Digital Psychrometric Chart

Knowledge of psychrometric properties is the basic requirement for environmental measurements and drying processes. The software GRAPSI_DRAW is capable of calculating the psychrometric properties and simulating the basic psychrometric processes with the precision of analytical methods, also showing the results in charts plotted on the computer screen.

Psychrometric Chart Tutorial: a Tool for Understanding Human Thermal Comfort Conditions

The Psychrometric Chart tutorial is a downloadable animated tutorial application which explains the various features of the Psychrometric Chart and how it illustrates indoor or outdoor air conditions and their relation to human thermal comfort. This tutorial is written in Flash and various audio-visual techniques are incorporated to create an effective educational resource. This paper outlines ...

Distributed Memory: A Basis for Chart Parsing

The properties of distributed representations and memory systems are explored as a potential basis for non-deterministic parsing mechanisms. The structure of a distributed chart parsing representation is outlined. Such a representation encodes both immediatedominance and terminal projection information on a single composite memory vector. A parsing architecture is described which uses a permane...

Psychrometric Pressure-Volume Analysis of Osmoregulation

Osmotic and turgor adjustment in roots, shoots, and whole sporophytes of a NaCI-tolerant mutant and a NaCI-sensitive wildtype strain of the fern Ceratopteris richardii Brongn. were charactenzed following exposure to 60 millimolar NaCI, using a psychrometric approach to pressure-volume analysis. Water potential components of whole plants and shoots at full or ambient hydration were similar betwe...
