Development of a calculation method by means of CFD analysis for the thermal output of a HVAC system coupling floor radiant heating and ventilation

The work analyses a thermal plant coupling floor radiant heating with air ventilation, by means of the insertion of a channel within the floor. The aim is represented by the research of a calculation method for predicting the thermal output. The method for traditional floor systems of Bernd Glück has been considered as a starting point for the research. Furthermore the air flow behaviour inside the channel has been studied by means of CFD analysis, to evaluate the heat transfer coefficient
