This component models the thermal response of wall in interface with a rest ambiances where the thermal exchanges are mainly driven by natural convection and radiation.
The suffix '..._a' refers to side where the ports 'port_a' are.
This component is an assembly of the PartialWall module, the FreeConvection modules and a CarrollRadiation modules. 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.
Ports name port_surface are connected to boundary ports 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 Wall supplies as output the surface area of the wall, via its A_wall ports, to the FviewCalculator module and get from this last the form (or view) factor as input via the F_view ports. The connection is performed explicitely via the graphic connectors.
