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