[TRNSYS-users] Boundary wall and Qcomo

Jingyu,
   Setting the back side convection coefficient to a small but non-zero 
number indicates direct contact with a known (or calculated) 
temperature. It does not mean that there is no energy transferred 
through the surface. If you want to create an adiabatic surface within 
the wall you can set the convective coefficient to zero. QCOMO is the 
energy transferred through the outside surface of the wall. So long as 
the wall temperature and the boundary temperature are different, there 
will still be some energy transferred.
Kind regards,
  David
