Effect of Semitransparent Screen on Heat Transfer Through a Flat Wall

Abstract

Abstract Evaluation the energy efficiency of houses under a transparent dome is a rather difficult task due to the complexity of taking into account numerous factors affecting heat transfer, in particular the greenhouse effect. In this paper, a relatively simple model for calculating the characteristics of heat transfer through the wall of a building with a dome, which takes into account the greenhouse effect, is proposed. It is shown that the presence of a semitransparent screen due to the greenhouse effect significantly changes the temperature of the building wall under the dome and the heat flux, which implies the importance of taking into account factors such as the optical properties of the screen, the temperature of the sky, and other climatic factors when calculating the thermal regime of dome systems.
