Convective heat transfer coefficients at a plane surface on a full-scale building facade.

Author(s) : LOVEDAY D. L., TAKI A. H.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Using an experimental arrangement correlations are obtained for the external convection heat transfer coefficient hc as a function of wind speed for a plane, smooth test surface on the facade of an eight-storey building. Values for convection coefficient were correlated with wind speeds measured 1 m from the test surface and 10 m above the roof. The correlations presented may be used for the prediction of hc values for the central region of smooth, multi-storey building facades between fourth and eighth storey levels inclusive.
