Name Type Variability Description/Comments
thk LEN_GZ input time -1 or optional default thickness, ft
cond CNDVY_GZ input time conductivity, Btuh-ft/ft2-F (at mt_condTRat)
condTRat number input time rating temp for mt_cond, F (typically 70 F)
condCT number input time
  • conductivity temp coefficient, 1/F
  • condAtT = mt_cond*(1 + mt_condCT*(T - mt_condTRat)
spHt SPECHEAT input time specific heat, Btu/lb-F
dens DENSITY input time 0 (massless) or density, lb/ft3
rNom RESVY_GZ input time
  • nominal R of insulation, ft2-F/Btuh-ft
  • = resistance of 1 ft2 per ft thick.
  • documentation only (typically round number, e.g. 13)
  • -1 = not given
  • derived. *r: set in input check/setup.
vhc HC_VOL Start of run volumetric heat capac (Btu/ft3-F): mt_spHt*mt_dens
