At 07:00 AM, the heat energy from solar radiation begins entering the walls. Heat accumulation slowly begins to increase reaching the maximum penetration at 2:00 PM. The effect of heat absorption, at maximum penetration, causes the inner surface of the container walls to increase the temperature by around 4.3°C.
The temperature on the wall clearly increases effect from the amount of solar radiation that occurs on the outside of the container. This result proved that wall of the container has been heat penetration from the solar radiation consistent with the results that have been done previously (M.A. Budiyanto and Shinoda 2017). Figure 6.
At this temperature, there is no radiation from the container to the surroundings. After some time, container temperature will start to increase and due to the temperature difference from ambient, there will be radiation heat transfer from the container to the surroundings.
displays the simulation results of heat accumulation on the container walls. This simulation considers the solar radiation in clear-sky condition, with the constant supply air temperature inside the container at 0°C. At 07:00 AM, the heat energy from solar radiation begins entering the walls.
In such situations, the simplest approach will be to estimate the maximum temperature possible in the container. This is the temperature at which the total radiation from the container to
