I am testing the solar chimney effect of a vertical wall covered with glazing offset 4" from the vertical wall surface. The wall has an inlet at the bottom and an outlet at the top. The glazing side of the wall is facing south. I have been using below conditions:
- CHT 2.0 with Internal Flow
- Solar load as fair weather condition
- Time and Location is March 21, Boston.
- Glazing Wall boundary condition: Ambient temperature - 8C (db), Far-Field temperature - 0C (Sky temp)
When I hit simulation, I get an error sign “Ambient temperature and far field temperature for boundary condition Glass must be the same with a transparent boundary condition. Please update these values: Ambient temperature: 8 °C, Far field temperature: 0 °C.”
So my question is, should the Ambient temperature and Far Field temperature be the same? I have been checking a few journals and the average sky temperature of the different months varies from -6C to 0C. So I am interested in how you would set up the Ambient and Far-field temperature of the transparent surface, especially in summer when db is 35C and sky temp are kept to 0C.
Thanks in advance.
