Urban-scale SALSCS, Part II: A Parametric Study of System Performance
Qingfeng Cao,Ming-Hua Huang,Thomas H. Kuehn,Lian Shen,Wen-Quan Tao,Junji Cao,David Y.H. Pui,David Y.H. Pui,David Y.H. Pui +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a parametric study on the proposed urban-scale SALSCS by using the validated numerical model, aimed at understanding the influence of different variables on system performance, namely, the solar irradiation, ambient-air temperature and ground temperature at a 2m depth as ambient parameters, and the inlet and outlet heights of the solar collector, collector width, tower width and tower height as geometric parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer Simulation of Airflow and Particle Transport in Cleanrooms
TL;DR: A review of existing airflow and particle transport simulation methods is presented and some recent applications to cleanroom airflow prediction are described in this paper, where the advantages of computer simulation over experimental measurements and limitations are discussed, and future directions of cleanroom modeling are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugate Three-Dimensional Natural Convection Heat Transfer from a Horizontal Cylinder with Long Transverse Plate Fins
A. K. Tolpadi,Thomas H. Kuehn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a vorticity-vector potential approach and the results were obtained for a Rayleigh number of 103 and a Prandtl number of 5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne Virus Survivability During Long-Term Sampling Using a Non-Viable Andersen Cascade Impactor in an Environmental Chamber
Song Ge,Thomas H. Kuehn,Martha Abin,Harsha Verma,Aschalew Z. Bekele,Sunil K. Mor,Sagar M. Goyal,Jessica Appert,Peter C. Raynor,Zhili Zuo +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the survivability of airborne viruses and the sampling performance of an eight-stage non-viable Andersen impactor in typical indoor environments featuring low viral aerosol concentrations, aerosols of a male-specific bacteriophage (MS2), human adenovirus type 1 (HAdV-1), and avian influenza virus (AIV) were sampled size-selectively using the impactor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting air flow patterns and particle contamination in clean rooms
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical flow and particle transport modeling is used to facilitate the design and operation of clean environments, and experimental data from an operating clean room and theoretical predictions indicate that the model is sufficiently accurate to predict the main features of the flow features for various configurations and operating conditions.
