Abstract
In this paper, the analysis of transient two-dimensional (2D) heat transfer in low sloped roof with forced ventilated cavity made from lightweight building elements (LBE) is presented. For the heat transfer analysis the 2D numerical model, which was verified with experiments, was used. Forced ventilated cavity was configured in two different ways. In the first case the cavity was configured with coloured thin metal sheet and in the second case with thin metal sheet with added layer of thermal insulation and radiation barrier. Beside the influence of the ventilated cavity configuration on the transient 2D heat transfer in the LBE and on the cavity outlet air temperature also the influence of the LBE thickness, specific air flow rate through the cavity, inner air temperature and wind velocity was analysed. Multi-parametric equations for determination of Fourier series coefficients were formed. These coefficients were used for evaluation of transient 2D heat transfer on the inner side of the roof and cavity outlet air temperature for a clear day.
