Model that demonstrates the use of an ideal heater and an ideal cooler.
The heater model has an almost unlimited positive capacity
(Q_flow_nominal = 1.0e10 Watts), and hence its outlet
temperature always reaches the set point temperatures.
The cooler model has a limited negative capacitiy
(Q_flow_nominal = 1000 Watts), and hence its outlet
temperature reaches only a limited value corresponding to its
maximum negative capacity.
There is also a heater and cooler with unlimited capacity.
At t=1000 second, the flow reverses its direction.
Each flow leg has the same mass flow rate. There are three mass flow sources as using one source only would yield a nonlinear system of equations that needs to be solved to determine the mass flow rate distribution.
The heater and cooler models have the parameter
show_T set to true to allow inspecting
the temperatures at their ports.
