Re: Simulating a special wall in TRNSYS

["Thomaz Borges" <thomaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Maurice

The closest thing I've heard about is the concrete solar collector. I don't
know if there is anything already developed for TRNSYS, but maybe you should
develop a new component, using the numerical model described in:

BopShetty, S.V. et al. Performance Analysis of a Solar Concrete Collector
        Energy Conversion and Management, 33(11), 1007-1016

Jubran,BA et al. Computational Evaluation of solar heating systems using
concrete solar collectors. Energy Conversion and Management, 35(12) 1143-1155

Sokolov,M; Reshev,M(1992) Performance simulation of solar collectors made of
concrete with embedded conduite lattice. Sol Energy 48(6), 403-411

Nayak,JK et al.(1989) Performance studies on solar concrete collectors Sol.
Energy 42(1), 45-56

With Regards,

                Thomaz
