A study of frost growth and roughness on a cold flat plate under forced convection.

Zhang, Tongxin, 1987-; 0000-0003-2286-6318 (2020-03-19)

The growth and roughness of frost formed on a cold flat plate under forced convection was characterized through experimental observations and analysis. The results indicated that the evolution of frost roughness was mainly ...

Annual energy use of series and parallel fan powered terminal units.

Lu, Di, 1993- (2017-12-06)

Traditional mass and energy balance component models of fixed and variable airflow series and parallel fan powered terminal units (FPTUs) were used to estimate the annual energy use in a small office building with hourly ...

Applying mass and energy balances to model series and parallel fan-powered terminal units.

Reid, Carl L., 1989- (2015-07-31)

Performance data from four manufacturers of fan-powered terminal units was analyzed and simple models of the fan/motor power use developed. These data included two fan motors: permanent split capacitor motors with silicon ...

Characterization of fan coils units with electrically commutated motors.

Cramer, Jessica, 1993- (2019-08-05)

The data from five manufacturers were obtained for the purpose of developing of a method for generalizing fan coil units (FCUs) with electronically commutated motors (ECMs. In addition, the University of Louisiana at ...

Effects of the hydrophobic coating on the initiation of frost formation.

Zhang, Tongxin, 1987- (2016-07-31)

The growth and freezing process of water droplets forming on hydrophobic coated surface were investigated by using a digital high-speed microscopy system. The images indicated that hydrophobicity of surfaces can affect the ...
