Summary

PRESENTS A TIME-DEPENDENT PERIODIC HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF A NON-AIR CONDITIONED BUILDING WITH A SOUTH-FACING THERMAL STORAGE MIXED WATER-MASS WALL. THE OUTER SURFACES OF THE WALLS/DOOR ARE EXPOSED TO PERIODIC SOLAR RADIATION AND ATMOSPHERIC AIR TEMPERATURE WHILE THE INNER SURFACES ARE IN CONTACT WITH VARIABLE INSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE. STATES THE EFFECTS OF HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH WALLS AND ROOF, HEAT CONDUCTION TO THE BASEMENT GROUND AND FURNISHINGS AS WELL AS HEAT LOSS DUE TO AIR VENTILATION HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE BUILDING MODEL. OBTAINS EXPLICIT SOLUTIONS FOR THE INSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE AND PERIODIC HEAT FLUX THROUGH THE THERMAL STORAGE WALL. A CONCRETE-WATER-CONCRETE MIXED THERMAL STORAGE WALL IS MORE DESIRABLE THAN A PURE WATER OR PURE CONCRETE MASS TROMBE WALL FOR PROVIDING THERMAL COMFORT IN BUILDINGS.
