Operative temperature (), also known as ''Dry resultant temperature'', or ''Resultant temperature'', is defined as a uniform temperature of a imaginary black enclosure in which an occupant would exchange the same amount of heat by radiation plus convection as in the actual nonuniform environment.〔ASHRAE Terminology, ASHRAE Handbook CD, 1999-2002〕 Some references also use the terms 'equivalent temperature" or 'effective temperature' to describe combined effects of convective and radiant heat transfer.〔Nilsson, H.O., Comfort Climate Evaluation with Thermal Manikin Methods and Computer Simulation Models, National Institute for Working Life, 2004, pg. 37〕 In design, operative temperature can be defined as the average of the mean radiant and ambient air temperatures, weighted by their respective heat transfer coefficients.〔Thermal Comfort, ASHRAE Handbook, Fundamentals, Ch. 9, pg.3, 2009〕 The instrument used for assessing environmental thermal comfort in terms of operative temperature is called a eupatheoscope and was invented by A. F. Dufton in 1929.〔Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society, < http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse?s=e&p=42>, accessed Sept 2010〕 Mathematically, operative temperature can be shown as; :: where, : = convective heat transfer coefficient : = linear radiative heat transfer coefficient : = air temperature : = mean radiant temperature Or :: have the same meaning as above. It is also acceptable to approximate this relationship for occupants engaged in near sedentary physical activity (with metabolic rates between 1.0 met and 1.3 met), not in direct sunlight, and not exposed to air velocities greater than 0.20 m/s (40 fpm). 〔ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55-2010, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy〕 :: where and have the same meaning as above. ==Application== Operative temperature is used in heat transfer and thermal comfort analysis in transportation and buildings.〔Dufton, A. F. The Equivalent Temperature of a room and its Measurement, Building Research Technical Paper No. 13. London, 1932〕 Most psychrometric charts used in HVAC design only show the dry bulb temperature on the x-axis(abscissa), however, it is the operative temperature which is specified on the x-axis of the psychrometric chart illustrated in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55 – Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human occupancy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operative temperature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
