modelInternalWall
interior opaque wall between two zones
Extends from IDEAS.Buildings.Components.Interfaces.PartialOpaqueSurface.
Information
This is a wall model that should be used to simulate a wall or floor between two zones. See IDEAS.Buildings.Components.Interfaces.PartialOpaqueSurface for equations, options, parameters, validation and dynamics that are common for all surfaces.
Typical use and important parameters
Each propsbus needs to be connected to a zone, which may be the same zone.
Note that this model is not symmetric: the convection equations depend on the inclination inc,
which is turned 180 degrees between both side. The value of inc is applied to the right side of the model (propsBus_a).
Parameter hasCavity can be set to true to simulate heat transfer
through a cavity such as an open door in a simplified way.
The cavity height h and width w then have to be specified.
We assume that the value of A excludes the surface area of the cavity.
