Investigation of Air Distribution in Mosque Rooms with Different Angles of Supply and Inlet Velocity

Abstract

The HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems utilization has increased in the last decade. It conducts global warming which has an impact on the rising of global temperatures. An excellent air conditioning system will make the room comfortable conditions. This paper aims to investigate the mosque space with a cooling model of wall-mounted air conditioning and the difference in inlet angle and air inlet velocity. The room design was constructed using SolidWorks software. Air distribution observations were created using ANSYS Workbench simulation software. The use of a supply angle of 90° results in an even distribution of air with a low inlet velocity, whereas in conditions of a supply angle of 60° requires a higher inlet speed. Thus, the uniform air distribution is able to be realized by the proper configuration which results an appropriately room temperature and saves energy usage.
