Abstract. Thermal stability of the enclosure structures is one of the most important objective in the building design. Thermal processes in the wall depend not only on the internal and external air temperature, but also on many other factors. Therefore, complexity of this process make heat conservation in the room to be an actual problem. This paper presents dependence between thermal stability of the enclosure structure and its design. It was shown that thermophysical characteristics of materials directly affect the thermal processes in the wall. For the research, three frequently used types of enclosure structure in Russia were taken. For each wall was found the average temperature and cooling time. As a result, it was found that the higher values of thermal conductivity, specific heat and material density are, the higher average temperature of the wall is.
The flows generated by lifting force can be met as in environment as in a number of technical devices. These flows emerge due to volume force which depends on the difference in densities caused by transfer of thermal energy as a result of temperature non-uniformity. Convection flows, which cause heat transfer between surfaces and air, emerge near heated or cooled surfaces. The densities of both liquid and gas depend on temperature. Therefore with the temperature gradient in liquid or gas mass forces are different at different points. This causes motion of gas or liquid which can be defined by direction of the field of mass forces, distribution of temperature in liquid and geometric shape of volume.
Natural convection flow in vertical flat ducts with heated face is used to intensify the transfer in technical systems, such as ventilated gaps of facade designs. Understanding of physical processes that accompany the air flow in vertical flat parallel-plate ducts gives ameliorating the structures designing process and increasing its operating characteristics.
