Cabin Radiation with Convection and Radiation: Overview

This tutorial simulates the solar radiation effect on cabin temperature. The table and chair are at the center of the cabin floor. Solar radiation enters through the window and heats the air inside the cabin. You can see the geometry and conditions for the simulation in the figure below:

1. Inner Wall Exchange Coefficient (h) = 100 W/m2 -k

2. Window Exchange Coefficient (h) = 200 W/m2 -k

3. Parallel Power Source = 500 W/m2

Radiation Parameter

• Walls Emissivity = 1

• Window = Transparent
