.BuildSysPro.BoundaryConditions.Solar.Utilities.TimeEquation

Information

Function computing the equation of time according to (t0 + t) given in seconds

Hypothesis and equations

The function returns the equation of time in radians according to (t0 + t) given in seconds:

ET=0.128*sin(w*(d-2)) + 0.164*sin(2*w*(d+10)

Where w=2*pi/365.25 and d day of the year according to t0+t.

The year is supposed to be not bisextile.
