7 Preface Courses in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) are usually offered in departments of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, architecture and building science. This book is written mainly with the interests of students and instructors in these departments in mind. However, a significant part of the contents may be used in courses such as, thermal systems and heat transfer, especially the worked examples. Practicing engineers could use this book to clarify the fundamental principles behind various design procedures recommended in professional handbooks. A number of professional societies like the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) publish comprehensive handbooks and design guides for use by HVAC engineers. These handbooks are updated regularly to include the most recent design procedures, developed through sponsored research projects. One of the main challenges for instructors in HVAC courses is to distill the materials available in professional handbooks, to a concise form to be included in regular undergraduate courses. This is often a time consuming task because the handbooks are intended for practicing engineers. This book tries to make the task easier for instructors by presenting the material in a directly useable format. For students the contents should appear as extensions and applications of the material covered in basic courses on thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Every effort is made to include simple derivations for most of the design parameters used in practice, without making the mathematical details unduly complicated. For instance, in chapter 9 a simple onedimensional thermal network approach is used to derive the fenestration design parameter called the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). Likewise, in chapter 10 a lumped-capacity transient thermal model is vii
8 viii Preface used to clarify the physical meaning of the radiant time series (RTS), and its application in cooling load estimation. In chapter 9 a vector approach is introduced to analyze complex three-dimensional geometrical design problems. These situations are encountered in computing incident angles of solar beams on inclined surfaces, and in determining the effectiveness of shading devices like overhangs. Included in this book are the most up-to-date empirical models available in the ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals, that are relevant for design. In particular, in chapter 9, for computing the solar radiation absorption and transmission in building envelopes, the latest two-parameter model is used to estimate the clear-sky radiation at different locations. In design oriented courses such as HVAC, it is important for students to understand the fundamentals behind the recommended design procedures. Comprehensive worked examples provide an ideal means to present design concepts in a practically useful manner. With this objective in mind, about 15 worked examples are included in each chapter, carefully chosen to expose students to diverse design situations encountered in HVAC practice. Computations required in worked examples illustrating basic principles are performed using a calculator. Worked examples involving more realistic design situations are done using MATLAB programs, included in the book. At the end of each chapter there are additional problems for which numerical answers are provided. The format of the worked examples and problems is a novel feature of this book. For instructors, this should provide a useful source for problems to be included in courses, tutorials and examinations. MATLAB programming is now taught routinely in most engineering and science courses. Therefore a number of MATLAB codes, for solving HVAC design problems requiring extensive computations, are also included. Computer codes are included for the following applications: (i) computation of psychrometric properties, (ii) design of cooling towers, (iii) design of wet-coil heat exchangers, (iv) computation of hourly diffuse and direct solar radiation intensities, (v) computation of sol-air
9 Preface ix temperature, (vi) estimation of hourly cooling load due to people, lights, roofs, and walls, (vii) design of overhangs, and (viii) design of duct and pipe systems. I wish to thank ASHRAE for granting permission to extract representative design data from the ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals, for inclusion in this book. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach a number of courses in refrigeration, air conditioning, and thermal systems at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). The notes developed for these courses provided the framework and much of the material for this book. I am thankful to my colleagues in the energy and bio-thermal division at NUS, with whom I shared the teaching of these courses, for many valuable discussions on HVAC systems. I am thankful to Dr. Raisul Islam for fruitful discussions on a number of practical design aspects of chiller systems and their energy efficiency. I wish to thank Dr. A. H. Jahangeer for providing valuable technical support on many occasions and Mr. Mahipala D. Fernando for fruitful discussions on heat pump systems. Thanks are due to my sons Duminda and Harindra, and my daughtersin-law Sindhu and Sophia, for their constant encouragement. Finally, my heartfelt thanks are given to my wife Kamani for her encouragement and generous support towards the completion of this project. Nihal. E. Wijeysundera
