[TRNSYS-users] Error in Slab Component Type705 ?

[Francois Badinier]

Dear all,

 

I started using the Type 705 Slab component and I found something that look
like an error, unless I misunderstand something.

 

I created a simple project with the slab itself, not connected to anything,
because my aim is simply to plot the deep earth temperature calculated with
the Kusuda equation .

In this project, the slab height is 0.1m deep, and the deep earth for the
soil is 1m deep. So the total depth of the soil is 1.1m.

 

When I plot it against an independent Kusuda calculator (Type77) for the
same depth, I don’t find the same curves/results. (see attached project +
don’t forget to save the .pipe in the project folder)

I made sure the soil properties are the same in both component.

 

Is there really something wrong or do I miss something there?

 

Best regards,
