Over the coming decades, as temperatures rise over the world and incomes rise, there will be a significant increase in the use of air conditioning systems. This paper analyses how fluidic oscillators can be utilised in air conditioning systems to improve mixing efficiency. To answer this question, we compared the performance of a fluidic oscillator in a few setups design. For better visualization, water was employed as the medium throughout the entire setup of experiments. Improvements were made to each experiment for better outcomes through several attempts and errors. The results of this paper suggest that the flow oscillator may someday be used in air conditioning systems. The flow oscillator could eventually be incorporated into air conditioners to improve mixing efficiency.
