    Energy Losses From Outdoor Located Air Handling Unit and Connection Duct
    (Universita degli Studi di Padova, 2007) Erdoğmuş, Abdullah Berkan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özerdem, Barış
    In the present study, energy losses due to heat transmission and air leakage from outdoor located air handling unit and connection duct are investigated based on EN 1886 and NEN-EN 1507 standard. The EN 1886 standard classifies air handling unit according to heat transmission and air leakage, while NEN-EN 1507 standard specify air leakages of rectangular ducts. In this study, air leakage and heat transmission fluxes for three cities in different regions of Turkey are determined and the economical value of energy losses for a building located in the city of Izmir and services 24 hours is calculated. The ambient air temperatures are taken from Turkish State Meteorological Service. The daily average values are considered for ambient temperature. The energy losses are determined for the variable and constant supply temperatures. Tables and charts are provided to show the variation of energy losses due to transmission and air leakage for the whole year. The total amounts of heat transmission and air leakage energy losses for different classes of air handling unit and connection duct are compared and discussed.

    Interfacial Convective Heat Transfer for Randomly Generated Porous Media
    (Begell House, 2018) Uçar, Eren; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ahmadi, Azita
    Heat and fluid flow in 20 random porous media is investigated by using the Monte Carlo (MC) procedure. Each porous medium consists of long square rods distributed randomly in flow direction. The continuity, momentum, and energy equations are solved for a row of porous media representing the entire domain of a random porous medium. The microstructure properties of each random porous medium which are the mean and standard deviations of the Voronoi areas, the nearest neighbor distance and orientation are obtained. The rods in the domain are classified into three groups as blocker, active, and passive rods according to their effects on the penetration of heat in porous media. 'The interfacial convective heat transfer coefficients for each rod and entire porous medium are calculated and plotted for different Reynolds numbers. A characteristic length based on the microstructure properties of the generated porous media is defined, and three correlations relating to the upper limit, lower limit, and mean of the overall interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient are proposed.
