Thermal Performance of Hordi Roofs in a Hot-dry Climate

A numerical model based on a two-dimensional finite-volume implicit procedure is utilized for the determination of the thermal performance of Hordi (rib-slab) roofs used in the construction of buildings in Saudi Arabia. The roofs are subjected to periodic change in ambient temperature, solar radiati...
