    Heat Transfer - Void Space Dynamic Insulation

    Yes that is correct. Not quite sure what you mean by header, but the channel contains uniform, bi-directional airflow through the entire wall area. There is an exhaust pipe/vent on the opposite side of the micro-house. Yes, I've got air temperatures going into the room and thermocouples...

    Heat Transfer - Void Space Dynamic Insulation

    Chet, Technically, you are right to understand the thermal conditions are changing with time, however with regard to my experiment, the thermal boundary conditions are relatively constant as the micro-house is located in an air-conditioned laboratory. The thermal diffusivity of the EPS...

    Heat Transfer - Void Space Dynamic Insulation

    Hi Chet, I have obtained a numerical solution using the finite difference method on Matlab but unfortunately my supervisor wants an analytical solution to valid the experiment. This model is then ideally implemented into an easy-to-use spreadsheet version to estimate the carbon-reduction...

    Heat Transfer - Void Space Dynamic Insulation

    Hi, I currently have a project running involving dynamic insulation. I am struggling to develop a 1D transient analytical model to compare to my experimental results. I have used the separation by variables method in the most basic form over 1 solid material but have failed to adapt this to 3...
