Abstract

A numerical model to improve the air-conditioning system of vehicle cabin taking into the cabin air moisture and its transport by the airflow within the enclosure cabin is described. An efficient computational fluid dynamics(CFD) technique is using the “realisable” model. The temperature and humidity fields in the passenger cabin are investigated individually under having or no body moisture. The temperature in the vehicle cabin taking into account human moisture is lower than no taking into account moisture 0.5 °C. The human dispersing moisture effect significantly on the humidity, which lead to the humidity is elevating and the humidity in vehicle cabin is corresponded hygienic standard.
