Dear Yasmina EL HASNAOUI, you may encounter this difference if you use the longwave radiation mode = standard. In this case Trnsys uses the starnode approach to calculate the heat transfer of the front side
of a surface . (see 05-MultizoneBuilding.pdf Section 5.4.1.6). Thereby, the entered convective heat transfer coefficient is used to calculated a so-c from the starnode to the air. In order to save calculation time the calculation is performed based on an approx.
average surface temperature given under “properties” to the building. For NType 108 the effective coefficient is
calculated back from this combined equivalent coefficient with the current temperatures. In general, this method yields to good results compared the detailed method although a difference in convective heat transfer
coefficient encountered. You may confirm this for your model by using the detailed longwave radiation mode based on the Gebhart method. In the mode, the convective and radiative heat transfer are calculated independently and the entered convective heat transfer
coefficient is equivalent to Ntype 108. Kind regards, Transsolar Hotline Team Von:
Dear TRNSYS users,
Does anybody know what is the difference between the front convective Heat Transfer Coefficient that you enter in type 56 and the type 56’s output c Kind regards, Yasmina EL HASNAOUI Tel : +33 (0) 426 10 66 94 De :
