The aim of this work is to study the one-dimensional heat and mass transfer through a ceiling wall containing micro-encapsulated PCC (phase change concrete) under realistic climatic conditions based on meteorological data in Tunisia based on software EnergyPlus. This work deals with a numerical study based on the nodal method to predict the effect...

... have studied the evaluation of the hydrothermal response of micro-encapsulated PCC composite panels whose melting temperature is set to be equal to 26 ° C of a two-zone building ( fig. 1) in which the walls of two zones (zone 1, zone 2) are identical (surface S = 100 m 2 with a height of 3m) and the effect of adding PCC in an exposed wall in the ceiling as shown in figure (2,3). Table 1 Thermo-physical properties of materials [16,17] The heat transfer by conduction through a wall, in the case without a heat source, is described by: ...
