The print edition is revised on a four-year cycle, with one volume published each year. Tables of contents for the four most recent volumes appear on these pages, and a composite index is at the end of this volume. In addition to the CD-ROM accompanying this book, ASHRAE offers subscriptions to ASHRAE Hand- book Online containing all four volumes in searchable format. The Society also produces educational materials, standards, design guides, databases, and many other useful publications.

New Guidance for Residential Air Cleaners BY LEW HARRIMAN, FELLOW/LIFE MEMBER ASHRAE; BRENT STEPHENS, PH.D, MEMBER ASHRAE; TERRY BRENNAN, MEMBER ASHRAE As HVAC&R professionals, we in the ASHRAE community are sometimes asked ques- tions about residential indoor air quality (IAQ) and how to improve it. What contami- nants are most hazardous? How do I get rid of a particular smell? Should I use this air cleaner or that filter? Sadly, our friends and family generally lose patience when we helpfully suggest: “Well, it’s complicated. But just read Chapters 46, 60 and 62 in the ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications, because there’s great information in there.” In general, we find that information seekers are frustrated by such helpful advice. Usually, the question is repeated (with some heat) in a form such as: “You’re the professional. Can’t you boil it down? What should I DO in my HOUSE?” Fortunately, two new resources can help you better mainstream and social media. When you get questions answer such questions. First, the ASHRAE Residential from friends and family about residential air filtration Indoor Air Quality Guide1 is a comprehensive summary of and air cleaners, you may find the U.S. Enivronmental IAQ for homes and apartments, written by our mem- Protection Agency’s recently updated publications help- ber colleagues and published by ASHRAE in 2018.

  • Building Air Intake and Exhaust Design
    CHAPTER 46 BUILDING AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST DESIGN Exhaust Stack and Air Intake Design Strategies........................................................................... 46.1 Geometric Method for Estimating Stack Height ........................................................................... 46.5 Exhaust-To-Intake Dilution or Concentration Calculations......................................................... 46.7 Other Considerations.................................................................................................................. 46.10 UTDOOR air enters a building through its air intake to provide O ventilation air to building occupants. Likewise, building ex- haust systems remove air from a building and expel the contaminants to the atmosphere. If the intake or exhaust system is not well de- signed, contaminants from nearby outdoor sources (e.g., vehicle ex- haust, emergency generators, exhaust stacks on nearby buildings) or from the building itself (e.g., laboratory fume hood exhaust, plumb- ing vents) can enter the building before dilution. Poorly diluted con- taminants may cause odors, health impacts, and reduced indoor air quality. This chapter discusses proper design of exhaust stacks and placement of air intakes to avoid adverse air quality impacts. Chapter 24 of the 2017 ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals de- scribes wind and airflow patterns around buildings in greater detail. Related information can also be found in Chapters 9, 18, 33, 34, and 35 of this volume, Chapters 11 and 12 of the 2017 ASHRAE Hand- Fig. 1 Flow Recirculation Regions and Exhaust Parameters book—Fundamentals, and Chapters 29, 30, and 35 of the 2016 (Wilson 1982) ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Systems and Equipment. of ganged stacks.

Mayer–Institute for Energy Engineering, City University of Applied Sciences Bremen, Neustadtswall 30, 28199 Bremen, Germany; [email protected] (D.S.); [email protected] (S.S.) 2 Faculty of Mechanical and Ship Technology, Institute of Energy, Gda´nskUniversity of Technology, Narutowicza 11/12, 80233 Gdansk, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The results of free convection heat transfer investigation from a horizontal, uniformly heated tube immersed in a nanofluid are presented. Experiments were performed with five base fluids, i.e., ethylene glycol (EG), distilled water (W) and the mixtures of EG and water with the ratios of 60/40, 50/50, 40/60 by volume, so the Rayleigh (Ra) number range was 3 × 104 ≤ Ra ≤ 1.3 × 106 and the Prandtl (Pr) number varied from 4.4 to 176. Alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles were tested at the mass concentrations of 0.01, 0.1 and 1%. Enhancement as well as deterioration of heat transfer performance compared to the base fluids were detected depending on the composition of the nanofluid. Based on the experimental results obtained, a correlation equation that describes the dependence of the average Nusselt (Nu) number on the Ra number, Pr number and concentration of nanoparticles is proposed.
