Abstract
Experimental results with predictions based on heat analysis, allow the evaluation of different coefficients of heat exchange in function of climatic data and geometrical dimensions of the wall. The results revealed that the radiation exchange is higher than the convective exchange in the air gap and inside the test room too. The thermocirculation in the gap was also estimated by using four different correlations and compared to the thermal flux calculated directly with the air flow through the upper vent. It turned out that Fischenden-Saunders and Alamdari-Hammond correlations have correctly interpreted the case study.
