National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Thermal Analysis Research Program Reference Manual.

PB83194225

Publication Date	1983
Personal Author	Walton, G. N.
Page Count	292
Abstract	The Thermal Analysis Research Program (TARP) has been developed as a research tool for the thermal analysis of buildings. It especially aims to study the interactions of many complex heat transfer phenomena. TARP uses the detailed heat balance method for the simultaneous calculation of the energy requirements of multiple rooms. Interroom conductive and convective processes are simulated in detail. This program reference manual describes the algorithms, input, output, and program structure of TARP. The program is written to be portable and modifiable. It is written in FORTRAN 77 and has run on CDC and UNIVAC computers. Future expansions of the program are anticipated, particularly for the simultaneous simulation of equipment performance and building thermal response.
