This component models the thermal response of half wall in interface with a rest ambiance where the thermal exchanges are mainly driven by natural convection and radiation.
This component is an assembly of the PartialWall module, the FreeConvection module and a CarrollRadiation module. The solid wall is dicretises in N along its depth to model the heat propagation. By defaut the value of N is computed from the depth and the thermal diffusivty of the wall. When the number of layers N is equal to one, the PartialWall is replaced by a HeatCapacitor.
A port name port_surface is connected to the boundary port of the PartialWall. It can be usefull for specific applications when another modules is required et can be latter connected to this empty heat port.
The HalfWall supplies as output the surface area of the wall, via its A_wall port, to the FviewCalculator module and get from this last the form (or view) factor as input via the F_view port. The connection is performed explicitely via the graphic connectors.
