.Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Functions.HeatFlux.constantCoefficient

Information

This function computes the buoyancy-driven convective heat flux as

q̇ = h ΔT,

where ΔT is the solid temperature minus the fluid temperature and h is the convective heat transfer coefficient.

Interface

function constantCoefficient
  extends Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Functions.HeatFlux.BaseClasses.PartialHeatFlux;
  input Modelica.Units.SI.CoefficientOfHeatTransfer hCon = 3 "Constant for convective heat transfer coefficient";
end constantCoefficient;
