Heat exchange by ventilation

Extends from Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.Element1D (Partial heat transfer element with two HeatPort connectors that does not store energy).

Information

The heat transfer between the inside and outside air due to natural ventilation is computed as a function of the air exchange rate.

This model also takes into account the leakage rate through the greenhouse structure, which is dependent on the wind speed (input of the model) and the leakage coefficient of the greenhouse (parameter of the model, characteristic of its structure).
