[TRNSYS-users] Wall heat transfer model in TRNSYS

Dear all,

   I have some questions about Wall heat transfer model in TRNSYS:

1. I only find some equations about wall in Manual( such as Radaitive heat
flows to the wall, external walls), but I only can understand a little.
Please tell me some reference books about  Wall heat transfer model in
TRNSYS. Because I simulated an actual test room: the indoor and outdoor
temperature keep the same 20°C and 10°C, respectively, during one day 24
hours. As this situation, QHEAT muss be equal to Q heat loss by walls based
on energy balance. But the result of QHEAT in TRNSYS is 6632 kJ, but based
on heat transfer equations I got the heat loss energy is 24307 kJ. So I want
to know the Wall heat transfer model in TRNSYS.

2. To Wall heat transfer model in TRNSYS: Whether it will consider Solar
absorptance and Longwave Emission or not? But I didn't define these things.
But from NTYPE 906 Energy Balance for surfaces:
1_B6_BAL  = -   1_B6_DQWALLdt-   1_B6_QCOMI+   1_B6_QCOMO+   1_B6_QRADGI+
1_B6_QRADGO-    1_B6_QALG
5.839E-14     -2.217E+03     -1.093E-01     -2.217E+03      3.725E-03
0.000E+00      0.000E+00

But We can see B6_QRADGI  still has value as 3.725E-03. I cann't understand.
Please explain possible reasons for it.

B6_DQWALLdt in Manual is change of internal energy of surface, but it's a
little abstract. Here I only used the heatings in TRNBUILD, no other
internal gains. PLEASE give me some examples about change of internal energy
of surface. Is it energy Generation of Wall etc.? Why here is minus
(-2.217E+03)? What's difference between  B6_DQWALLdt and B6_QCOMO? Why here
they are the same? Is there some reasons?



3. How to get or check the TRNSYS program's source code? And how to get the
TRNSYS program's setup files and look over the "compiled" files(fortran)
etc.? Because some simulation results I cann't understand such as the above
Wall heat transfer model in TRNSYS etc. I want to understand their model and
those simulation results and compare with the results by hand.


Many thanks!
