modelLocalDuctConvectiveHeatFlow

heat transfer model for locally resolved rectangular ducts in quasi-counter flow arrangement

Extends from PartialDuctHeatTransfer (partial model for rectangular duct heat transfer models).

Information

This heat transfer model calculates the convective heat flow for local distribution using the function convectiveHeatTransferCoefficient. The heat flow is calculated as follows.

Q̇[i] = α[i] Ccross[i] Asurface[i] ( heatPorts[i].T - Ts[i] ) nparallel
