Description

Air mixing problems are encountered by engineers in many applications. Central air conditioning systems, HVAC modules in automobiles, pulverizer mill of power generating systems, engine combustion systems in vehicles, and ventilating ducts to mention are a few examples of such applications. A great deal of experimental and computational fluids dynamics (CFD) studies of airflow mixing have been conducted and reported in the open literature. Velocity and temperature measurements and flow visualization methods were applied to investigate mixing of airflows. Further, several CFD methods have been applied to simulate airflow mixing and developments in the mixing boxes.

A literature survey pertaining to air mixing and associated systems was been conducted. The survey focused on five topics:
(1) Simulation and measurement of airflow patterns in mixing boxes
(2) Stratification problems in mixing boxes
(3) Air damper control characteristics
(4) Air mixing boxes
(5) Methods for air mixing enhancement

The researchers then developed a test plan consisting of the configuration tested, an experimental facility, instrumentation, and test procedures.
