  2. Ventilation (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    The amount of ventilation in an ETS area is equal to the amount of an ETS-free area plus the amount V, where: V = DSD × VA × A/60E V = recommended extra flow rate in CFM (L/s) DSD = design smoking density (estimated number of cigarettes smoked per hour per unit area) VA = volume of ventilation air per cigarette for the room being designed (ft ...

  3. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

  4. Louver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louver

    A louver (American English) or louvre (Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is a window blind or shutter with horizontal slats that are angled to admit light and air, but to keep out rain and direct sunshine. The angle of the slats may be adjustable, usually in blinds and windows, or fixed.

    = cross-sectional area of opening, ft² (assumes equal area for inlet and outlet) C d = Discharge coefficient for opening (typical value is 0.65) g = gravitational acceleration, around 32.2 ft/s² on Earth H d = Height from midpoint of lower opening to midpoint of upper opening, ft T I = Average indoor temperature between the inlet and outlet ...

  6. Heat and smoke vent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_and_smoke_vent

    The majority of guidance available for design of heat and smoke building vents installed in buildings is restricted to nonsprinklered, single-story buildings. [4] This is partly a historical consequence of the installation of heat and smoke vents following the August 1953 General Motors, Livonia, MI major fire in a nonsprinklered manufacturing facility which effectively stopped the production ...

  7. Trickle vent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_vent

    The US Standard ASHRAE 62.1-2007: Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, only requires 4% of net floor area to be operable. This creates the potential for increased energy consumption where natural ventilation is provided by operable windows where supplemental air conditioning is provided, in addition to generally poor control over ventilation rates during hot summer or cold winter ...
