modelPartialWindowBoundaryCondition

Partial model for heat convection or radiation between a possibly shaded window that can be outside or inside the room

Information

Partial model for boundary conditions for convection and radiation for a window surface with or without shade, that is outside or inside the room.

This allows using the model as a base class for windows with inside shade, outside shade, or no shade.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Modelica.Units.SI.AreaAHeat transfer area of frame and window
RealfFraFraction of window frame divided by total window area
Modelica.Units.SI.AreaAFrafFra*AFrame area
Modelica.Units.SI.AreaAGlaA - AFraGlass area
Shading
BooleanhaveExteriorShadeSet to true if window has exterior shade (at surface a)
BooleanhaveInteriorShadeSet to true if window has interior shade (at surface b)
BooleanhaveShadehaveExteriorShade or haveInteriorShadeSet to true if window system has a shade
BooleanthisSideHasShadeSet to true if this side of the model has a shade

Connectors

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealInputuShaInput connector, used to scale the surface area to take into account an operable shading device, 0: unshaded; 1: fully shaded
