loop in passive solar building<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in order to developp a bioclimatic building
in Ladakh, we are looking for information about convective loop.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The building we try to design should have
two storeys and one sunspace on its south face. We already have
information about convective heat transfer inside passive solar buildings
thanks to publications issued from the Los Alamos National Laboratory. However
these documents were published on 1985 and they only provide major principles
and data providing from few examples.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anybody know one non numerical method to
design convective loop, or a document which could be used as a reference on
this subject?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Séverin POUTREL.</FONT></DIV><PRE>
