To study the performance of nozzle air supply in a large space building, this paper builds a simplified computational model of a large exhibition hall applied with vertical nozzle air supply system using the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The Fluent software is used to realize the three-dimensional simulation and obtain the temperature field and velocity field in the occupied zon...

Abstract 1: CMAQ is a numerical air quality model which gives concentration of various air pollutants at several different scales. Our main interest is to model the conditional distribution of high resolution output (96 by 96 in space,576 hours) given low resolution output (24 by 24 in space, 576 hours). By a Haar Wavelet Packet Transform of high resolution output for each hour, we naturally li...

In a 10-ton capacity pilot plant solar liquid desiccant air conditioner (LDAC) developed, dehumidification of the outside air is achieved through a honeycomb packed-bed heat and mass exchanger, using lithium chloride solution as the desiccant. The dry air obtained from the dehumidification process is evaporative cooled inside a cooling pad and directed into the conditioned space. The dilute sol...

This paper develops new results on the stability and control of a class of linear repetitive processes described by a second-order matrix discrete or differential equation. These are developed by transformation of the secondorder dynamics to those of an equivalent first-order descriptor state-space model, thus avoiding the need to invert a possibly ill-conditioned leading coefficient matrix in ...

The paper deals with a selection of the initial state for Kalman filtering. The prior knowledge about it can be highly uncertain. In practice the initial state mean and covariance are often chosen arbitrarily. The present paper considers the problem from the position of knowledge elicitation and proposes a methodology to extract the prior knowledge from available information by the respective p...

We consider time harmonic wave equations in cylindrical wave-guides with physical solutions forwhich the signs of group andphasevelocities differ. Theperfectly matched layer methods select modes with positive phase velocity, and hence they yield stable, but unphysical solutions for such problems. We derive an infinite element method for a physically correct discretization of such wave-guide pro...
