modelConvNLayerClearanceStar

Wall consisting of n layers, with convection on one surface and (window) clearance

Information

Overview

The ConvNLayerClearanceStar model represents a wall, consisting of n different layers with natural convection on one side and (window) clearance.

Concept

There is one inner and one outer HeatPort-connector to simulate one-dimensional heat transfer through the wall and heat storage within the wall.

The ConvNLayerClearanceStar model extends the basic concept by adding the functionality of approximated longwave radiation exchange. Simply connect all radiation exchanging surfaces via their RadPort-connectors.

Attention: The first element in each vector represents the layer connected to HeatPort_a, the last element represents the layer connected to HeatPort_b.

HeatPort_b1 is the connection for absSolarRadWin the transmitted radiation through a window, that is absorbed by a wall.

Example Results

This model is part of Wall therefore also part of the corresponding examples InsideWall and OutsideWall.
