Numerical study on the heat transfer behavior of the snow melting system

摘要

The heat transfer behavior of the Snow Melting System was numerically investigated for the case where the upper and lower sides of the Snow Melting System were controlled respectively at a constant temperature. The calculations were carried out under various factors of initial temperature, pitch of heat source, thickness of asphalt and concrete of the Snow Melting System. The predicted results were in agreement with the experimental results, which were obtained in our previous work. As a result, the quantity of the heat transfer to the upper and lower sides of the Snow Melting System under various conditions was clarified.
