A NEW METHOD FOR THE CALCULATION OF HEAT TRANSFER IN WALLS AND ROOFS.

Author(s) : GOUGH M. C. B.

Summary

THE BASIS OF THE METHOD IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTANTANEOUS THERMAL STATE OF THE WALL IN TERMS OF NORMAL COORDINATES. OUTPUT QUANTITIES, WHICH MAY BE TEMPERATURES OR HEAT FLUXES AT ANY POINT WITHIN THE STRUCTURE, ARE CALCULATED AS WEIGHTED SUMS OF RECENT SAMPLE VALUES OF THE INPUT VARIABLES (SURFACE TEMPERATURES OR FLUXES) AND A SET OF SUBSIDIARY VARIABLES -THE NORMAL COORDINATES -WHICH ARE UPDATED AT REGULAR INTERVALS USING FRESH INPUT SAMPLES. A SINGLE SET OF NORMAL COORDINATES IS USED IN THE CALCULATION OF ALL OUTPUTS. THE WEIGHTING COEFFICIENTS MULTIPLYING THE NORMAL COORDINATES ARE EIGENFUNCTIONS OF THE SYSTEM. (INT. BUILD. SERV.
