Development of a Detailed Heat Pump Simulation Controls Testbed
(2019-07)
In order to increase energy efficiency, it is desirable to reduce power consumption of HVAC systems. One way to reduce power consumption is through careful control of system components. To this end, this work covers the ...
Design, development, and validation of a low-cost measurement system for residential ground source heat pump systems
(2019-12)
There is still relatively little data available to properly analyze the performance of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems in residential applications. While commercial-grade instrumentation is available, it is often ...
Fixed Path Pull-In/Pushback Trajectories for Airliner Ground Transport
(2019-05-01)
The process of ground movement of airplanes about an airport is currently accomplished with a combination of engine thrust and ground vehicles. Minimization of on-ground fuel usage of airlines and reduction of ground support ...
Design and development of a tornado intercept unmanned aerial vehicle
(2019-12)
Very little data surrounding tornado genesis exists, and this is due in part to the lack of tools necessary to deliver weather-sensing instruments into the severe weather phenomenon. Though current UAS are able to accurately ...
Effect of operational parameters and inlet duct design on ECM fan performance of a push-through residential air handling unit
(2019-12)
The current trend in HVAC industry is to use increased air flowrate to increase the air conditioners' efficiency compared to when testing standards were originally developed. Manufacturers tend to achieve this increased ...
Design and Construction of a Psychrometric Testing Facility for Commercial Scale Heat Exchanger Coils
(2019-07)
Heat exchanger coils are used to provide heating and cooling in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) equipment. Testing of coils is necessary to evaluate how design changes, such as refrigerant ...
