Modeling the radiate and energy balance of a building located in the Adrar region
Journal Title: Recueil de mécanique - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, we study the effect of temperature and external solar flow on the evolution of daily solar radiation incidental on the walls of a building located in the ADARAR region of Algeria. The numerical simulations made it possible to compare the evolution of solar flow during a full day on the walls of the heating South, East, North and West starting from the values of the global solar flow of a horizontal wall (the outer ceiling). This global horizontal solar flow is computed by a sinusoidal Gauss function. The equations of direct horizontal solar flow calculation, horizontal diffuse flow, direct inclined, diffuse inclined and the global solar flow on a wall sloping, have been solved numerically using the nodal method in a one-dimensional case. This modeling is based on the model of Liu and Jordan. The simulations were carried out in the case of a desert zone building. The results showed the effect of external conditions such as the ambient temperature and the angle of the day on the daily evolution of the incident solar flow on the various orientations of the walls of the building.
