modelHeatToStar

Information

Overview

The TwoStar_RadEx model cobines the HeatPort and the Star connector. To model longwave radiation exchange of a surfaces, just connect the HeatPort to the outmost layer of the surface and connect the Star connector to the Star connectors of an unlimited number of corresponding surfaces.

Concept

Since exact calculation of longwave radiation exchange inside a room demands for the computation of view factors, it may be very complex to achieve for non-rectangular room layouts. Therefore, an approximated calculation of radiation exchange basing on the proportions of the affected surfaces is an alternative. The underlying concept of this approach is known as the "two star" room model.
