Thermodynamics is a branch of natural science concerned with heat and its
relation to energy and work. It defines macroscopic variables (such as
temperature, internal energy, entropy, and pressure) that characterize
materials and radiation, and explains how they are related and by what
laws they change with time.
Fluid Mechanics : Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics that
studies fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid
mechanics can be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest; fluid
kinematics, the study of fluids in motion; and fluid dynamics, the study of
the effect of forces on fluid
motion.
Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the
generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy and heat
between physical systems. As such, heat transfer is involved in almost
every sector of the economy. Heat transfer is classified into various
mechanisms, such as thermal
conduction, thermal convection, thermal radiation, and transfer of energy
by phase

TERMINOLOGIES
In heat transfer, conduction is the transfer
of heat energy by microscopic diffusion
and collisions of particles or quasi-particles
within a body due to a temperature
gradient.hermal radiation.
Convection is the concerted, collective movement of
groups or aggregates
of molecules within fluids(e.g., liquids, gases) and rheids,
either through advection or through diffusion or as a
combination of both of them.
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation
generated by the thermal motion of charged particles
in matter. All matter with a temperature greater

DEFINITIONS
The Coefficient of performance or COP of a heat pump is a ratio of heating or
cooling provided to electrical energy consumed.
COP =
𝑄
𝑊
Q is the heat supplied or remove from the pump, W is the work consumed by the pump.
Energy Efficiency Ratio : The EER is the ratio of output cooling energy (in BTU) to electrical input
energy (in Watt-hour)
EER =

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio : It is the ratio of output cooling energy (in BTU) to
electrical input energy (in Watt-hour).
SEER is a representative measurement of how the system behaves over a season
where the outdoor temperature varies.

Kilo-Watt per Ton (kW/ton)
The efficiencies of large industrial air conditioner systems,
especially chillers, are given in kW/ton to specify the amount of
electrical power that is required for a certain power of cooling. In this
case, a smaller value represents a more efficient system.
Horse Power
Another unit in use in the US is the horse power (HP). This is a unit of
power and typically is used to specify the size of motors. It may also be
used to specify the input power of an air conditioning system. One HP
is approxima ely 746 W.
Energy Star :
In the US, Energy Star is the Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA’s) indication for products that have high energy efficiency. it
makes it easy for consumers to identify and purchase products that
have higher energy efficiency than those products without such
designation.

adequate room temperature especially
during cold weather conditions.
Process of "changing" or replacing air in
any space to control temperature
or remove any combination
Air conditioning and refrigeration are
provided through the removal of heat

9. Objective
Goal: To develop an automotive air-conditioning system that is
smaller and lighter than with conventional technology.
The Challenge: The system must be capable of keeping a
temperature of 22˚C inside a room, with an outside
temperature of 40˚C. Also, the system must be an efficient
heating system, keeping an internal temperature of 15˚C with
an outside temperature of 0˚C.

Control is primarily through airflow design.
Construction finishes; personnel and garments; materials and equipments.
Important control precautions include:
1. Walls, floors, ceiling tiles, doors, and windows.
2. People must wear garments.
