calcMRTglobe: MRT calculation based on standard and mixed convection

In comf: Models and Equations for Human Comfort Research

MRT calculation based on standard and mixed convection

Description

calcMRTglobe calculates the mean radiant temperature considering mixed convection

Usage

calcMRTglobe(tg, ta, vel, x = 0.15)

Arguments

tg	- a numeric value presenting globe temperature in [degree C]
ta	- a numeric value presenting air temperature in [degree C]
vel	- a numeric value presenting air velocity in [m/s]
x	- a numeric value presenting globe diameter in [m]

Details

aliases MRT globe

This model has only been validated from x = 0.040m (ping pong ball) to

x = 0.150m (standard globe thermometer) globes

Value

calcMRTglobe MRT with standard and mixed correction
