functionfloor
Free convection, floor
Extends from Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Functions.HeatFlux.BaseClasses.PartialHeatFlux.
Information
This function computes the buoyancy-driven convective heat flux as
q̇ = h ΔT,
where ΔT is the solid temperature minus the fluid temperature and h is the convective heat transfer coefficient for a floor, computed as
h=k |ΔT|0.3333,
where k=0.76 if the fluid is warmer than the floor, or k=1.51 otherwise.
