Computer Aided Simulation Of A Heating, Ventilating, And Air Conditioning System In A Building, Sunil Shrikrishna Kulkarni Jan 1985

Computer Aided Simulation Of A Heating, Ventilating, And Air Conditioning System In A Building, Sunil Shrikrishna Kulkarni

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

The Godwin Life Science Building on the Old Dominion University campus presents an interesting problem in terms of energy conservation. The building is the maximum energy resource consumer on the campus, having a criterion value of 234 KBtu/sq.ft-year (2657 MJoules/sq. rneter-year). A Simplified Energy Analysis Method (ASEAM) loads and systems computer program was used to simulate the building and its heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) plant in order to understand the building's high annual energy resource consumption rate, and to devise ways to overcome it. The main goal was to assess and propose energy conservation improvements to the existing …


Computer-Aided Design Of Light Aircraft To Meet Certain Aerodynamic And Structural Requirements, Joanne Lynn Walsh Jul 1973

Computer-Aided Design Of Light Aircraft To Meet Certain Aerodynamic And Structural Requirements, Joanne Lynn Walsh

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Nonlinear mathematical programming techniques are applied to a particular aircraft design problem, that of determining the maximum range design for light aircraft subject to certain aerodynamic and structural requirements. Search techniques available in an existing nonlinear optimization computer program, AESOP, are applied to the design problem. Seven design variables are used to define the wing dimensions, the wing skin thickness, the cruise velocity, the amount of fuel carried, and the engine horsepower. The influence of different design requirements on the range is observed and discussed.
