CFD Flow & Thermal Comfort Analysis – IIT Kharagpur, Nalanda Complex, Auditorium

CFD Flow & Thermal Comfort Analysis: Auditorium

Auditoriums are used for assembly of large numbers of people, hence maintaining thermal comfort will help in improving the productivity of its occupants. This analysis will study & optimize the performance of an Auditorium Air Conditioning System. The simulation has taken into account both the internal(human & equipment heat load) & external(solar heat flux) heat source.
