[TRNSYS-users] Ground back heat transfer coefficient

Nalin,
A very large value of convection coefficient indicates that there is a
high level of coupling between the boundary temperature and the outside
surface temperature. A value less than 0.001 indicates that there is
direct contact (ie no temperature difference at all) between the surface
and the boundary temperature. If your high value is high enough, then in
effect you have direct coupling. If you choose a small but not too small
coupling value (0.1 for example), you may see some difference.
Kind regards,
David
