Predicting Heat Loss and Temperature of Outdoor Objects - Need Model Built

Hi,

We need a model built for predicting the temperature of outdoor objects such as water towers and above ground gas tanks.

This model should incorporate:

1. Historical weather (to the extent that it is significant) such temperature, wind, rain, sun, clouds
2. The size and shape of the objects and the material and insulating properties of the object

What you will be supplied with:

1. Hourly weather data in an excel sheet
2. Attributes of the objects such as size, shape, and material. We can also supply academic papers detailing heat transfer rates and other important properties including formula.
3. Starting temperature of the tank

So the job is to take the starting temperature and using the weather data and objects attributes predict the objects current temperature.

Deliverables:

- We will need an Excel file that shows the predicted temperature hour by hour for 5-7 different objects.

Other Notes:
- This model doesnt have to be extremely accurate. Wed like it to be within 2 degrees or so.

When bidding please say:

1. When you can start and finish
2. Your experience with predicting the temperatures of objects
3. If you need us to send you relevant academic papers detailing the technique

Thanks!
