Computation of thermal comfort inside a passenger car compartment

Transient thermal model of a vehicle's cabin validated under variable ambient conditions

“…A two surface enclosure approach has been applied in each thermal zone [19] and all the internal surfaces inside the vehicle are assumed to behave as blackbodies. The glazing is considered to be opaque to long wave radiation [13].…”

“…Sanaye et al [9] and Khayyam et al [10] built cabin models including this feature and focused on the control system of the AC. Huang [11], Conceição et al [12] and Mezrhab and Bouzidi [13] developed cabin thermal models with a high level of detail. However, only Mezrhab and Bouzidi [13] include radiative heat transfer between surfaces.…”

“…Huang [11], Conceição et al [12] and Mezrhab and Bouzidi [13] developed cabin thermal models with a high level of detail. However, only Mezrhab and Bouzidi [13] include radiative heat transfer between surfaces. Few models consider other significant loads such as heat from engine and exhaust [10] or from auxiliaries [5].…”

“…In order to take this effect into account, several authors [11][12][13] consider the composition of the cabin walls in detail. This approach requires full information about the cabin characteristics, which is generally not given in manufacturer data of the vehicle.…”

Analysis of Indoor Air Quality and PMV-PPD Model in Dynamic Conditioned Car Cabin

“…Noe [4] the manikins actual variation in thermal and human comfort are found by the mathematical modeling. Mezrhab et al [5]the material compostion inside the cabin are taken into account for their thermal variation inside the cabin. Yadollah et al [6]it explains about the feedback system importance over the system.…”
