The automobile car cabin is complex man –machine interface. Two main goals of Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning System is providing thermal comfort and save energy. Comfort is a subjective feeling and hard to model mathematically. This is because thermal comfort is influenced by many variables such as temperature, relative humidity, air velocity and radiation. Aim of this paper is to des...

Full-scale furnished cabin fires have been studied experimentally for the purpose of characterising the post-crash cabin fire environment by the US Federal Aviation Administration for many years. In this paper the Computational Fluid Dynamics fire field model SMARTFIRE is used to simulate one of these fires conducted in the C-133 test facility in order to provide further validation of the compu...

This paper describes a wireless sensor network prototype with the use of reconfigurable hardware for airliner cabin environment research. Commercial airplane passengers and crews breathe a mixture of outside and re-circulated air, similar to many homes and offices. But the cabin environment is unique, due to the proximity of the passengers, the need for cabin pressurization, the low humidity, a...
