Principles of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning with Worked Examples
Principles of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning with Worked Examples
Principles of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning with Worked Examples presents the most current design procedures in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), available in handbooks, like the ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) Handbook-2013 Fundamentals, in a way that is easier for students to understand. Every effort is made to explain in detail the fundamental physical principles that form the basis of the various design procedures.
Courses in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) are usually offered in departments of mechanical engineering, civil
engineering, architecture and building science. However, a significant part of the contents may be used in courses such as, thermal systems and heat transfer, especially the worked examples. Practicing engineers could use this book to clarify the fundamental principles behind various design procedures recommended in professional handbooks

This book tries to make the task easier for instructors by presenting the material in a directly useable format. For students the contents should appear as extensions and applications of the material covered in basic courses on thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
A number of professional societies like the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
publish comprehensive handbooks and design guides for use by HVAC engineers. These handbooks updated regularly to include the most recent design procedures, developed through sponsored research projects.
