modelConvectionResistanceCircularPipe

Validation of the correlation used to evaluate the convection resistance in circular pipes

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This example validates the implementation of AixLib.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.Boreholes.BaseClasses.Functions.convectionResistanceCircularPipe for the evaluation of the convection thermal resistance in circular pipes.

In this validation case, the fluid mass flow rate increases with time so that Re = t.
