2014 The concept of dwelling is connected with the thermal comfort problem. Radiatively out of balance volumes may agree physiologically and psychologically with the ideal preferred comfort. Nevertheless taking into account vertical and horizontal gradients is a necessity, as well as other parameters of influence like air temperature, air velocity, hygrometry, activity and clothing. The mean ra...

Abstract This study focuses on exploring the impact of urban forms and vegetation combination patterns microclimate in a complex environment. Results shown that closed form has higher air temperature resulting pedestrians are easier to feel heat stress; instead, open usually wind speed. Vegetation can effectively reduce speed while reducing change rate mean radiant temperature. However, effect ...

Instruments measuring the outdoor radiant environment are limited spatially. They aggregate observations to singular points, eliminating variations from surrounding surface temperatures. Computational methods can characterize heterogeneous environment, but spatial validation with accurate tools remains difficult. We use two novel sensing platforms (MaRTy and SMaRT) an innovative computational m...

the intensity of noise, heat and light were measured in 10 different groups of food processing plants with 3820 employees. noise was measured in 265 working places and if the over-all noise was more than t.l.v. (90dba), the octave band analysis was carried out. effective temperature (e.t) or corrected effective temperature (c.e.t) were measured in 183 working places and air velocity relative hu...

the present paper compares full kinetics mechanisms in numerical modelling of porous radiant burners (prb), with their reduced forms. the two most frequently used mechanisms of methane combustion (gri3.0 and miller) were selected and their effects were examined on temperature, species concentration, burning speed, and pollutant emission. while the findings of numerical simulation of prb show fi...

We propose a method for multi-objective optimization of tree arrangement in urban open space. The Pareto solutions the consider trade-offs between thermal radiant environment, green visibility, and sky visibility. result captures reasonably shows that even when amount trees is same, can have nonnegligible impacts on mean temperature, Furthermore, we show procedures utilizing solutions, which su...

Various models using radiometric approach have been proposed to solve the problem of estimating the distance between a camera and an infrared emitter diode (IRED). They depend directly on the radiant intensity of the emitter, set by the IRED bias current. As is known, this current presents a drift with temperature, which will be transferred to the distance estimation method. This paper proposes...

Thermal loading by radiant heaters is used in building heating and hot structure design applications. In this research, characteristics of the thermal radiative heating of an enclosure by a distinct heater are investigated from the second law of thermodynamics point of view. The governing equations of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy (fluid and solid) are solved by the finite volume m...
