Determination of k-factors of HVAC system components using measurement and CFD modelling

This thesis conforms conventional and advanced experimental techniques for the measurement of and mathematical prediction of velocity pressure-loss factors (kfactors) for fittings used in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. After an extensive study of different tracer-gas exper...
