title = "Aircraft cabin flow pattern under unsteady air supply",
abstract = "Maintaining a suitable cabin environment for an aircraft at cruise requires constant extraction of fresh air from the engine, resulting in a loss of thrust. An effective air delivery method for ventilating the cabin will minimize such loss and thus improve the fuel economy of an aircraft. This study investigates an unsteady air supply method and finds that the flow pattern becomes transitional under periodic air supplies. This transitional feature leads to lower average temperature and CO2 concentration levels than the conventional steady supply condition with the same amount of fresh air. Unsteady air supply shows the promise in improving the fresh air delivery efficiency inside the cabin.",
