calcMRT: MRT calculation based on standard and mixed convection

Description

calcMRT calculates the mean radiant temperature considering mixed convection

Usage

calcMRT(tg, ta, vel, x = 0.15)

Value

calcMRT MRT with standard and mixed correction

Arguments

tg

- a numeric value presenting globe temperature in [degree C]

ta

- a numeric value presenting air temperature in [degree C]

vel

- a numeric value presenting air velocity in [m/s]

x

- a numeric value presenting globe diamter in [m]

Author

code implementedc into R by Shaomi Rahman and Marcel Schweiker.

Details

aliases MRT

This model has only been validated from x = 0.040m (ping pong ball) to

x = 0.150m (standard globe thermometer) globes
