Abstract
Thermal comfort in an automobile is predicted with numerical simulation. The flow field and temperature distribution are solved with a grid system based on many small cubic elements which are generated automatically with cabin and passenger configuration. Simulation of temperature is combined with simulation of cooling cycle and calculation of heat transfer at the wall including solar radiation to treat transient and actual driving conditions of the vehicle. In order to evaluate thermal comfort, transitional effective temperature is calculated from simulated thermal conditions and physiologic values which are calculated by a simple model of a human thermal system. This system can well predict thermal sensation of passengers in a short period of time. Β© 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(3): 195β212, 2001

A novel three-dimensional thermal model is proposed to study the transient temperature distributions during the friction stir welding of aluminium alloys. The moving heat source engendered by the rotation and linear traverse of the pin tool has been correlated with the actual machine power input. Th
