modelHeatingRod_ExergyDestruction

Extends from HVACAgentBasedControl.BaseClasses.PartialCostFunction.

Information

Overview

  • This model determines the exergy destruction of a heating rod based on the inputs of the component.
  • It is used together with a HeatProducerAgent.

Concept

Heating rod

The figure above shows the control volume for the heating rod. Based on this volume the following function for exergy destruction has been developed. Details can be found in the reference.
