Online resources: Summary: Natural ventilation is considered a prerequisite for sustainable buildings and is therefore in line with current trends in the construction industry. The design of naturally ventilated buildings is more difficult and carries greater risk than those that are mechanically ventilated. A successful result relies increasingly on a good understanding of the abilities and limitations of the theoretical and experimental procedures that are used for design. There are two ways to naturally ventilate a building: wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation. The majority of buildings employing natural ventilation rely primarily on wind driven ventilation, but the most efficient design should implement both types. Natural Ventilation of Buildings: Theory, Measurement and Design comprehensively explains the fundamentals of the theory and measurement of natural ventilation, as well as the current state of knowledge and how this can be applied to design. The book also describes the theoretical and experimental techniques to the practical problems faced by designers. Particular attention is given to the limitations of the various techniques and the associated uncertainties. Key features: Comprehensive coverage of the theory and measurement of natural ventilation Detailed coverage of the relevance and application of theoretical and experimental techniques to design Highlighting of the strengths and weaknesses of techniques and their errors and uncertainties Comprehensive coverage of mathematical models, including CFD Two chapters dedicated to design procedures and another devoted to the basic principles of fluid mechanics that are relevant to ventilation This comprehensive account of the fundamentals for natural ventilation design will be invaluable to undergraduates and postgraduates who wish to gain an understanding of the topic for the purpose ofSummary: Natural Ventilation of Buildings: THEORY, MEASUREMENT AND DESIGN -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Principal Notation -- 1 Introduction and Overview of Natural Ventilation Design -- 1.1 Aims and Scope of the Book -- 1.1.1 Aims -- 1.1.2 Scope -- 1.2 Natural Ventilation in Context -- 1.2.1 Hierarchy of Ventilation Systems -- 1.2.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Natural Ventilation -- 1.2.3 Differences between Natural and Mechanical Ventilation -- 1.3 Overview of Design -- 1.3.1 Overall Design Process -- 1.3.2 Stage 1: Assessing Feasibility -- 1.3.3 Stage 2: Choosing a Ventilation Strategy -- 1.3.4 Stage 3: Achieving the Ventilation Strategy -- 1.3.5 Stage 4: Internal Air Motion and Related Phenomena -- 1.3.6 Stage 5: Commissioning -- 1.4 Notes on Sources -- 1.4.1 Coverage of Recent and Past Developments -- 1.4.2 Natural Ventilation and Safety -- References -- 2 Physical Processes in Natural Ventilation -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.1.1 Fundamental Principles of Fluid Mechanics -- 2.1.2 Numerical Analysis and CFD -- 2.2 The Effect of Gravity on Ventilation Flows -- 2.2.1 Navier-Stokes Equations -- 2.2.2 Hydrostatic and Piezometric Pressures -- 2.2.3 Envelope Flows -- 2.2.4 Internal Air Motion -- 2.3 Types of Flow Encountered in Ventilation -- 2.3.1 Reynolds Number -- 2.3.2 Laminar Flow -- 2.3.3 Transitional Flow -- 2.3.4 Turbulent Flow -- 2.4 Fluid Mechanics - Other Important Concepts and Equations -- 2.4.1 A Fluid as a Continuum -- 2.4.2 Transport Mechanisms -- 2.4.3 Momentum Principle - Newton's Laws of Motion -- 2.4.4 Momentum Equations for a Defined Body of Fluid and a Control Volume -- 2.4.5 Hydrostatic Equation -- 2.4.6 Steady Flow -- 2.4.7 Mass Conservation for an Envelope -- 2.4.8 Bernoulli's Equation -- 2.4.9 Energy Equations for a System and a Fixed Control Volume -- 2.4.10 Loss Coefficient and Resistance Coefficient.PPN: PPN: 809429705Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
