Chandra, S; Kerestecioglu, A A

Experiments were conducted in a full scale room of the FSEC Passive Cooling Laboratory (PCL) to determine room air flows and convective heat transfer coefficients (h/sub c/) from one vertical wall when the room was naturally ventilated. Such data is required for accurate predictions of heat removal rates from overheated rooms by natural ventilation. The h/sub c/ data is correlated to local surface airspeeds and overall room airflows. Comparisons are made with other data sources.
