modelMV_cnv_condensation

Vapour mass transfer (and possible condensation) caused by convection at a surface. The model must be connected as following: air (filled port) - surface (empty port)

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

Information

Mass transfer from the air to the cover (condensation) is governed by processes at the boundary layer at this

surface. Because of the similarity of the transport mechanism for vapour and heat transfer through the boundary

layer, the mass and heat transfer coefficients are correlated. In de Zwart (1996), a factor of 6.4e-9 kg/(kJPa)

is found between the heat and mass transfer coefficients.
