โœฆ Synopsis

Dimensional analysis was apphed to the design of a small-scale model building. The model was used to simulate the thermal response of a building and two-stage heating, ventilation, and airconditioning (HVAC) system, operating under automatic control. Temperature variation, in the course of a series of heating and cooling cycles, was monitored by computer. The observed thermal response of the model was found to be fairly realistic. The modelling technique is currently being refined, and will include the effects of solar gains, humidity, and air movement. The method should offer an inexpensive and reliable means for evaluating the impact of new building materials and technologies on the built environment.

Excess electricity is utilized to produce hydrogen for storage through electrolysis of water. At the solar down time, the stored hydrogen can be used to produce high-quality steam in an aphodid burner to operate a turbine and with a field modulated generator to supplement electric power.

Spatial modelling of the terrestrial environment encompasses a wide variety of research activities in the Earth and environmental sciences. In this volume we have collected examples from a small subset of those activities which serve to illustrate some important challenges that modellers currently f
