Metallic transport containers can get extremely hot when kept exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, containers for thermally sensitive materials employ a sandwich construction with a layer of insulation and air gap. The software evaluates thermal performance of insulated container by solving transient one-dimensional heat transfer equations involving radiation, conduction & convection. Inputs to the software are container dimensions, thicknesses of all panels and air gaps, thermo-physical properties and ambient conditions. The software predicts peak and diurnal variation of temperature attained during the day for each panel.
