Use of fractional calculus in modeling of heat transfer process through external building partitions
Journal Title: Acta Innovations - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 27
Abstract
This paper is devoted to experimental and numerical studies of heat distribution in an external building bulkhead. It analyzes the variation of temperature across the width of the bulkheads including the impact of changing external conditions. Mathematical model used in the research is formulated based on a fractional differential equation, which was proven to be a useful tool for describing this type of process in previous paper. Numerical results are compared with experiment data for different bulkhead configurations.
