Numerical analysis of the equipment position influence on the premises thermal regime under gas infrared emitter operation and mixed convection conditions

Abstract

The analysis of mathematical modeling results on premise heating by a gas infrared emitter (GIE) during supply and exhaust ventilation operation is presented in this article. The model is presented in a one-dimensional non-stationary setting for an incompressible medium with allowances for the radiant heat flux transfer between opaque solid surfaces in the air. The air is transparent to thermal radiation. The traditional k-ε model is used for turbulence modeling. The possibility for creating comfortable conditions in the area of a horizontal surface with different heights, imitating laboratory equipment, is analyzed.
