This study predicts building energy use and indoor climate using CNNs and LOA. The research gives architects and engineers real-time building performance optimization tools using sub-hourly data to meet escalating energy efficiency and interior environment needs. This research presents a new way for improving prediction model accuracy and efficienc...
In this study, a small vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) was successfully designed and tested to produce electrical energy using renewable wind energy after being installed on the roof of buildings. The VAWT was constructed according to the existing wind source in the Tabuk region in Saudi Arabia. The use of VAWT on roofs is a sustainable solution...
This study investigates the effect of dust accumulation on photovoltaic modules performance and proposes a new photovoltaic cleaning method based on static electricity concepts. The results of the proposed cleaning method were compared with the results of three different conventional photovoltaic cleaning methods: manually -the reference-, naturall...
Instantaneous flow patterns of a forward-inclined transverse jet in the test section of an open-loop, suction-type wind tunnel was studied experimentally by laser assisted smoke flow visualization technique. Increasing the forward-inclination angle of jet tube (θ > 15º) at low jet-to-crossflow momentum flux ratio (R = 0.1) eliminates the upwind-sid...
The flow and mixing characteristics of a forward-inclined stack-issued jet at various inclination angles (θ) and jet-to-crossflow momentum flux ratios (R) were experimentally studied in an open-loop wind tunnel. Flow behaviors were examined using the laser-assisted smoke flow visualization technique. The instantaneous velocities of the upwind-side...
The effects of the forward inclination of a jet in crossflow on the jet fluid dispersion and upwind-side shear-layer characteristics were studied experimentally in an open-loop wind tunnel. The jet forward-inclination angle θ was varied from 0° to 50°, and the jet-to-crossflow momentum–flux ratio was adjusted between 1 and 2. Short- and long-exposu...
