A STUDY TO CATEGORIZE WALLS AND ROOFS ON THE BASIS OF THERMAL RESPONSE.

Summary

A STUDY WAS MADE TO DEVISE A METHOD FOR GROUPING WALLS AND ROOFS WITH SIMILAR TRANSIENT HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS. THE CORRELATIONAL METHODS UTILIZED THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND GEOMETRIC SIMILARITIES IN GROUPING WALLS AND ROOFS WITH EQUIVALENT HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS. THE GROUPING METHOD EMPLOYS A COMBINATION OF 4 THERMOPHYSICAL AND GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS TO PLACE AWALL OR ROOF ASSEMBLY INTO A GROUP WHOSE TRANSIENT HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS ARE WITHIN A LIMITED RANGE.
