In the hot and humid environment of Indian summers, a conventional cooling system is too expensive for most people. In this project, Passive cooling systems which consume less power, are more efficient, cost less, and make very little noise are used. After researching various passive cooling techniques in isolation and running simultaneously, we aim to develop a system that is cost-effective and efficient at cooling the Indian household. The focus of this project is on the four major types of passive cooling techniques, they are radiant cooling, solar chimneys, wind catchers, and shading devices. Supplementary techniques like terrace cooling are also included. The initial analysis and study of the windcatcher system with various heights and inlet shapes have been conducted. A software model has been generated using fusion 360, analyzed in Ansys fluent, and results were recorded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
