A study of the effect of heat source location in a ventilated room using multiple regression analysis

For that paper, a multiple regression analysis is applied to predict the room mean velocity on the one hand and to determine the most influencing parameters on the velocity, on the other hand. For four different heat source locations, more than 120 experiments were carried out in a test chamber. The influence of the environmental parameters were examined by two methods : a simple and a multiple regression analysis . The conclusions are presented.
