In a highly developed living, people are always looking for a comfortable indoor environment with minimum energy use. Regional air conditioning mechanism (RACM) can create a personal thermal comfort control in a workroom which can contribute to save air-conditioning energy. In this study, we analyze the airflow circulation cell of the RACM with varied inlet port opening and inlet port position dimensions using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. We created a RACM, two workstations…
