Heat exchange within the engine control volume

Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Icons.Block (Basic graphical layout of input/output block).

Information

The model defines the dynamic behavior of the CHP thermal mass (i.e. engine block, encapsulated working fluid, and internal heat exchange equipment) using a single, engine control volume. The thermal energy stored within this volume is quantified using an aggregate thermal capacitance capEng and an equivalent average engine temperature TEng. The heat transfer between the engine and the cooling water control volume is quantified using the overall thermal conductance UAHex, while the heat loss to the surroundings is quantified using the overall thermal conductance UALos.
