MODELLING OF HEAT TRANSFER PROCESSES IN THE ZONE OF HEATING PIPE LAYING AND IN INHOMOGENEOUS BUILDING ENVELOPES WITH THE USE OF CONFORMAL MAPPING METHOD

Statement of the problem. Metal elements used in building envelopes increase durability, but no-ticeably change value and nature of heat losses. The problem is to show the influence of metal ribs inside a flat wall on heat transfer process. The problem of determination of the temperature fields around heat conductor partially embedded in soil is also considered.Results. The calculation of heat transfer processes around heat conductor partially embedded in the wall (body) and in the inhomogeneous building envelopes with metal ribs was performed with the use of conformal mapping method. Simple and efficient method for modelling steady state processes of heat transfer in the area of heat conductor partially embedded in body and in inhomogeneous building envelopes with metal ribs.Conclusions. Obtained dependencies enabled us to calculate the most important feature of the product, namely coefficient of thermal and technical homogeneity. The tackled problems of heat transfer reveal the advantages of the conformal mapping method.
