Talk:Sol-air temperature

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe that the equation for Tsol-air is incorrect as shown on this page.

Incorrect formula:

    Tsol-air = (T0 + (Alpha * I - deltaQir)) / h0

I believe the correct equation is

    Tsol-air = T0 + ((Alpha * I - deltaQir) / h0)

See, for example, section 8.2.2 here: http://www.aij.or.jp/jpn/symposium/2006/loads/Chapter8_com.pdf

Sorry for the crude formulas, I don't know how to create pretty equations for wikipedia.

I think Mr. Eberhard's formular is correct:

  Tsol-air = T0 + ((Alpha * I - deltaQir) / h0)

otherwise

  Tsol-air =! T0 for the case I=0 and deltaQir=0

what have to be fulfilled

Yes, that's correct. I have therefore now corrected the article. By the way, if one knows the actual surface convective heat transfer coefficient, then the following formulation can be used:

where:

 : convection heat transfer coefficient [W/m²K]

 : radiation heat transfer coefficient (to sky) [W/m²K]

 : combined convective & radiative heat transfer coefficient, as defined in ISO 6946, Usually =25 [W/m²K]

 : dry-bulb air temperature [°C]

 : radiative sky temperature [°C], see ISO 13790
