modelConvection_Condensation

Upward or downward heat exchange by free convection from an horizontal or inclined surface. Mass transfer by condensation from the air (filled port) to the cover/screen (empty port). If studying heat exchange of Air-Floor: connect the filled port to the floor and the unfilled port to the air.

Extends from Greenhouses.Interfaces.HeatAndVapour.Element1D (Partial water mass transfer element with two WaterMassPort connectors that does not store energy).
