Description

1) The file provided (Ambient Temperature) is a paper from last semester about the same thing im writing. my paper can have some info from that fill but have the info in different words and order.

2) use those links to help you write about the topic and research for more info.

Ambient Temperature The open walls of the mezzanine will be insulated to reduce heat loss to the first and second floors of the shop. Foil faced polyiso foam insulation will be attached directly onto the fenced south wall of the mezzanine, and a temporary wall will be constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and foil faced polyiso foam insulation for the east wall. Foil faced polyiso foam insulation was chosen for its high thermal resistance per thickness of insulation and it does not melt when tested using the ASTM E84 method. The insulation wall will be “semi-permanent”. Velcro strips will be used to support the wall. Removable adhesive strips will anchor the Velcro strips to the existing wall. The dimensions of the proposed insulated testing area are 15ft x 11ft x 8ft. However, the ceiling of the mezzanine has a height of approximately 10ft. The initial height was chosen as 8ft because it is the height of the sprinkler system in the mezzanine. If the heat loss through the space between the insulation wall and ceiling does not allow for the uniform increase in ambient temperature, additional insulation will be attached onto the top of the insulation wall shown in Figure 5. The additional insulation will be attached using removable adhesive and Velcro strips along the length of the top and bottom of the insulation which will attach to Velcro strips added onto the ceiling and the insulation wall. Space heaters will be used to increase the ambient temperature to the desired testing temperature. A fan will circulate the air inside the insulated testing region during the initial heating process. Once the ambient temperature has reached the desired temperature, the fan will be removed to minimize convection to the surroundings. Prior to the start of the test, the ambient air must reach steady state at the desired temperature. The ambient temperature will be monitored with a thermometer mounted away from the space heaters. Additionally, he fluid throughout the system must be within 8℃ of all fluid in the system. The ambient temperature will be tested at 20℃, 25℃, and 30℃. This range was determined from the approximate average low and high temperatures in the mezzanine from the previous year.

Design of a Thermosyphon Solar Water Heater
A thermosyphon solar water heater was designed and made of horizontal dual
plates (with 2.7 m2 full opening area) that acted as water collectors and directed it to a
water storage tank (having a capacity of 150 litres). The water heater design was modelled
and simulated using a transient simulation program, TRNSYS. Using this program, it was
possible to conduct a sample evaluation of the design in two cities in Jordan in order to
enhance the design characteristics of the system. The results from the optimization
indicated a 10-25% maximization in the performance of the system and also it was found
that the effectiveness of the system was optimized by using a larger water storage tank.
The water heater design was validated by performing basic experiments on the
model ...
