Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consideration was given to modeling wind speed data and to a scheme for correlating data between two separate stations. A sensor system was developed to measure the effect of wind on collector performance. The specifications for the sensor are presented, and a discussion of the calibration of the sensor is given. Four experiments were performed to determine wind flow patterns around buildings. The velocity profile over an actual collector was also measured as a function of free stream velocity. A mathematical model for a solar collector and three experimental efforts to measure the effect of wind on collector performance are reported. (MHR).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most common technology available for harnessing solar energy is flat-plate solar collectors and photovoltaics. Among the various parameters affecting the energy performance of solar collectors, convective heat losses depend greatly on the effect of wind and its cooling effects. Knowledge of wind heat transfer coefficient hw, is required for the estimation of upward losses from the outer surface of flat-plate solar collectors. Furthermore, the wind speed at the location of the collector should be known. A series of velocity measurements have been conducted at the Concordia University Building Aerodynamics Laboratory to assess the optimum location of a flat-plate solar collector on the roof of a building model. Wind velocity measurements were performed at nine different locations above the roof and for three different wind directions (0°, 45°, and 90°). The building was assumed to be on an open country simulated upstream terrain. A series of additional cases with the model surrounded by different adjacent structures of variable height were also tested. The forced convective heat transfer coefficient hw was correlated against the measured local wind speed Vloc and direction. The study found that local velocities on different roof locations can vary up to 62% for the same wind direction. An analytical approach of a performance simulation model has been used to calculate the efficiency and the useful heat gain of a flat-plate single-glazed collector. The analysis has been conducted for hypothetical days with constant wind velocities and directions but also for an example actual day, typical of random wind velocity values. The wind impact on a flat-plate solar collector’s performance characteristics when placed on different locations of the roof of a building model was assessed. It was estimated that for a typical sunny day, thermal energy gains can be 17% higher on windward than leeward locations.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses current design and testing procedures for wind loading. The test results corresponding to numerous wind tests on heliostats, parabolic troughs, parabolic dishes, and field mounted photovoltaic arrays are discussed and the applicability of the findings across the various technologies is assessed. One of the most significant consistencies in the data from all of the technologies is the apparent benefit provided by fences and field shielding. Taken in toto, these data show that load reductions of three or possibly more seem feasible, though a more thorough understanding of the phenomena involved must be attained before this benefit can be realized. It is recommended that the required understanding be developed to take advantage of this benefit and that field tests be conducted to correlate with both analyses and tests.

Download or read book Wind Effects on Structures written by Emil Simiu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides structural engineers with the knowledge and practical tools needed to perform structural designs for wind that incorporate major technological, conceptual, analytical and computational advances achieved in the last two decades. With clear explanations and documentation of the concepts, methods, algorithms, and software available for accounting for wind loads in structural design, it also describes the wind engineer's contributions in sufficient detail that they can be effectively scrutinized by the structural engineer in charge of the design. Wind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is organized in four sections. The first covers atmospheric flows, extreme wind speeds, and bluff body aerodynamics. The second examines the design of buildings, and includes chapters on aerodynamic loads; dynamic and effective wind-induced loads; wind effects with specified MRIs; low-rise buildings; tall buildings; and more. The third part is devoted to aeroelastic effects, and covers both fundamentals and applications. The last part considers other structures and special topics such as trussed frameworks; offshore structures; and tornado effects. Offering readers the knowledge and practical tools needed to develop structural designs for wind loadings, this book: Points out significant limitations in the design of buildings based on such techniques as the high-frequency force balance Discusses powerful algorithms, tools, and software needed for the effective design for wind, and provides numerous examples of application Discusses techniques applicable to structures other than buildings, including stacks and suspended-span bridges Features several appendices on Elements of Probability and Statistics; Peaks-over-Threshold Poisson-Process Procedure for Estimating Peaks; estimates of the WTC Towers’ Response to Wind and their shortcomings; and more Wind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is an excellent text for structural engineers, wind engineers, and structural engineering students and faculty.
