Abstract

Maintaining thermal comfort to ensure the health and safety of the occupants are one of the major challenges. Earlier studies suggest several strategies that have been adopted to improve the heat transfer performance of energy storage radiators. This study employs simulation as a primary research approach, utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess temperature and velocity profiles. To validate the findings obtained from the CFD model, an experimental investigation was conducted at smart house of University of Huddersfield, using thermocouples. The primary objective of this research is to understand the thermal performance of a radiator and to ascertain the temperature distribution throughout the room.
