solar Intensity (W/m2)

Required: Input local data from above Set parameters L (height) = 3m, h-in=5, h-out=10, k=1.5 (units withheld) After Checking the effect of decreasing/increasing meshing across wall select the minimum number of meshes possible (see results of 3 meshes vs more ) Note: Minimum Deliverables: Output Temperatures of wall displayed on a T-x and T-t graphs Calculate heat flows thru wall at certain intervals Graph effect of parameters on Troom (indoor temperature of unheated house) for different Wall thicknesses, wall material(s) Comments and observations (put your program listing in appendix)
