Abstract
The article is devoted to the computational studies of the air-thermal state of office premises taking into account the effect of solar radiation coming through window openings. The study was conducted for a room with two windows using two heating devices installed under them. The air-temperature regime of premises in winter, characterized by the highest thermal energy consumption for heat supply, is considered. The study is based on the solution of a three-dimensional nonlinear heat transfer problem described by a system of equations of turbulent momentum and energy transfer. The k-e turbulence model is used to close this system. The results of numarical modeling of the physical situation under study are presented. The research data on the features of the air-thermal state of the premises under solar radiation conditions are given. The results of a comparative analysis of the air-temperature conditions of office premises corresponding to the solution of the specified heat exchange problems in the presence and absence of solar radiation are presented and the effects of solar radiation on the structure of the air flow and the thermal state of the premises are established. It is shown that in the presence of solar radiation, the air flow picture and the character of the temperature fields in the premises change significantly. In particular, in these conditions, the increase in the average temperature of the premises for the studied period is 2.5 °С. The possibility of a certain reduction of the load on the heating system in the presence of solar radiation is noted. Bibl. 17, Fig. 5.
