PH-97-05-6 -- An Analysis of Coupled Heat and Moisture Transfer in Buildings Considering the Influence of Radiant Heat Transfer PDF

Presents the results of the analysis of the heat transfer and moisture accumulation in walls, including two-dimensional regions, taking into account radiative heat transfer between walls, while clarifying the influence of thermal and hygroscopic characteristics of walls and rooms. The condensation process in the corners are investigated. Specifically, the following points are discussed - 1) relationship between the relative position of a surface to the window and the radiation heat flux; 2) calculation in corners and around edges.
