In this paper, it is intended to investigate the condensation characteristics of a supply vent cap, which is designed and developed for natural ventilation systems for ondol heating spaces. Numerical simulations are conducted using a CFD package to analyze airflow and thermal conditions around the vent cap. Temperature and humidity distributions are obtained to predict condensation on the surface, depending on the material properties. As the thermal conductivity decreases, decreased is the condensation surface area. The thermal conductivity of the vent cap is found to be less than 1 W/mK in order to prevent condensation under the winter design condition of Seoul. An experimental technique is introduced to visualize condensation on surfaces using water-absorbing mud film. Analytical results are in good agreement with experimental observations. Discussion are also included for the thermal comfort and flow characteristics around the vent cap observed by the flow visualization and temperature visualization studies.

This paper investigates the age of air in a ventilated space with multiple supply inlets. The local mean age of air at a point from one supply inlet is different from those from the other supply inlets. It is the purpose of the present paper to evaluate the contributions of each supply inlet to an internal point, using LMA values from each inlet and/or steady state concentrations by each inlet. Transient concentration distributions are calculated with a step-up injection of tracer gas at each supply inlet, and at both inlets simultaneously. The steady state concentration with a continuous tracer injection at a supply inlet works as a weighting factor for the corresponding LMA in calculating the average overall LMA from multiple inlets.

It is intended to develop an experimental apparatus which can visualize flow patterns around cylindrical objects with various cross sections. The test objects are immersed in a fluid and traversed on a traversing system while the fluid remains stationary in a tank. Since there is no piping system to circulate the fluid, the apparatus is simple and does not require pumping power. Aluminum powders on fluid surface help to obtain clear flow images. A smart phone camera mounted on the traversing system can capture images and movies with a relative reference frame, and send the real-time data to computers through wireless communication. Karman vortex streets can be observed by varying traversing speed for various cross-sectional objects, and Strouhal number is obtained as a function of Reynolds number. Through the capstone design course, students can learn about a traversing system, fluid visualization techniques, design procedure and fluid theories around an object.

This paper investigates the effects of outdoor pressure fluctuations on natural ventilation through an opening on a building envelope. The ventilation airflow rate depends on the magnitude and the period of the pressure fluctuations, the size of the opening relative to the space volume, and the resistance characteristics of the opening. Non-dimensional parameters have been derived, which determine indoor pressure responses due to outdoor pressure fluctuations. The flow regions are categorized into (1) synchronized region, (2) opening resistance region, and (3) transition region depending on the non-dimensional parameter derived. Pressure fluctuations and flow characteristics are investigated numerically using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method.

Interzonal air movements are important to characterize overall ventilation performance of complicated multi-zone buildings. Tracer gas techniques are widely used to measure ventilation rates, ventilation effectiveness, and interzonal air movements. Depending on the number of gases used, they are divided into single and multi tracer gas methods. This paper deals with the comparison of the tracer gas methods in measuring air exchange rate between rooms. Experiments have been conducted in a simple two-room model with known airflow rates. In multi-gas procedure, the concentration decays of two tracer gases, i.e SF6 and R134a are measured after simultaneous injections in each room. The single tracer gas method is also applied by injecting SF6 gas with a time lag between two rooms. The data reduction procedures are developed to obtain the interzonal airflow rate using the matrix inversion, and various data manipulation methods are tested, such as data shift, interpolation, and smoothing. Uncertainty for each airflow rate is investigated depending on the parameters based on the setting values.

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effect of outdoor weather conditions on the performance of a heat recovery ventilator. Experiments have been performed by varying outdoor temperature/humidity conditions with the indoor conditions fixed at the standard conditions by KARSE. Results indicate humidity efficiency shows larger uncertainties than temperature efficiency in general. With the heat generation by an internal fan removed, the modified temperature efficiency remains almost constant regardless of the indooroutdoor temperature difference. The enthalpy efficiency can have very large or negative values in case the outdoor conditions are in the vicinity of the indoor enthalpy Line. The direction of heat flow, in such a case, can be opposite to that of moisture flow between two air streams. Discussions are included about various interesting features of the psychrometric processes taking place in a heat recovery ventilator.
