[Bldg-sim] exterior convection coefficient for tilted roof

[Jeff Haberl]

Leen,



This depends on whether or not the wind is blowing... or not. ASHRAE used to have tabluated values (still in some textbooks) of R = .17 Btu/ft2-hr-F for winter (15 mph wind) and .25 Btu/ft2-hr-F for summer (7 mph wind). Otherwise, for a vertical surface it would be .68 for free convection, probably less for a tilted surface, .9 if horizontal heat flow down.



Also, radiation can be significant if the surface is facing a cloudless sky. I think Kreider's solar textbook has a equation for sky temperature...which is somewhat complicated by cloud cover, etc.

Dear,

can anyone point me to some reference values for exterior convection coefficients for tilted surfaces like a roof?

Thanks
