modelInternalResistancesTwoUTube

Validation of the thermal resistances using the method of Bauer et al. (2011) for a double U-tube borehole

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

Information

This example validates the implementation of AixLib.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.Boreholes.BaseClasses.Functions.internalResistancesTwoUTube for the evaluation of the internal thermal resistances of a double U-tube borehole.

    Corrected use of getInstanceName() which was called inside a function which is not allowed.
    This is for IBPSA, #1814.
