Establishes a coupled heat transfer and airflow model, and numerically solves the control equation. Provides a method for simulating the thermal performance of the kang heating system and predicting indoor air temperature, and validates it by the field measurement data. Concludes that this method can be used as reference for the optimal design and energy consumption evaluation.
