Transmission and storage characteristics of sinusoidally excited walls--A review

M. G. Davies

Applied Energy, 1983, vol. 15, issue 3, 167-231

Abstract: This paper summarises developments in the theory of the behaviour of the walls of a room when subjected to diurnal variations of ambient temperature and solar radiation, and the implications it has for the temperature within the room. It summarises successively analytical work on the transmission characteristics of a slab, and a slab with inside and outside films describing radiation and convective processes on each side of a simple wall. It continues with a discussion of these characteristics for multilayer walls as found directly and through matrix methods and provides a similar discussion of wall heat storage characteristics, as determined analytically. Electrical analogue and numerical methods are discussed. These characteristics form an essential part of procedures for estimating variation of temperatures within a room and the work in this connection of Shklover,25 Muncey47 and Danter and Loudon1 is outlined.
