modelThermalConductor

Lumped thermal element transporting heat without storing it

Extends from Interfaces.OnePort (OnePort partial model of heat transfer library).

Information

This model looks a bit more complicated than the corresponding model of the Modelica standard library. The difference is caused by the fact that thermal bond graphs operate on entropy flows rather than heat flows. The temperature difference causes additional entropy to be generated, but the power is proeserved, such that heat in equal heat out.
