Information

Overview

This model is based on pipeBase. The pipes parameter can be chosen from DataBase or entered manually . This model takes into account the heat loss due to convection and / or radiation and insulation can also be chosen.

Concept

The fluid inside the pipe is represented by the model HeatCapacitor. Two cilindrical layers with heat conduction and heat storage where added for the pipe wall and pipe insulation each.

The model directly calculates radiation and convection instead of modeling these phenomena outside the pipe, an ambient temperature can be prescribed at the heat-port and the star of the pipe and the loss to ambient will be calculated within the pipe model. The purpose is to clean up bigger models and to simplify modeling systems with pipes outside building-walls.

Please note that it's not possible to consider radiation without considering convection.

Also, be careful when using neither isolation nor convection, as this will result in ideal heat transfer to the outside of the pipe and so to a significant heat loss. Might be useful if used for example for CCA (concrete core activation).
