modelNaturalConvection

Heat Transfer with natural convection of the outside air

Extends from ThermalSeparation.Wall.BaseWall (Model of the heat loss at the column outer wall).

Information

This model calculates the heat loss to ambiance using a correlation for the outside heat transfer coefficient of air obtained from VDI Wärmeatlas, 6.Auflage, 1991, S. Fa2. For further information of this model see also BaseWall
