Simulation of Temperatures on Surfaces Exposed to Solar Radiation

摘要

Objects which are exposed to and absorb radiation from the sun heat up. The actual surface temperature depends on the material, the shape of the object and the weather factors (sun, air temperature, wind, humidity). The properties of use of most materials are also determined by the actual temperatures in the application. These materials may be window profiles or other polymer base materials for example. The micro climate on and in building walls is also influenced essentially by the absorbed solar radiation depending on the material properties. The same applies for temperatures inside buildings and automobiles.
