modelPartialInternalResistances

Partial model to implement borehole segment internal resistance models

Information

Partial model to implement the inner resistance network of a borehole segment.

The partial model uses a thermal port representing a uniform borehole wall for that segment, and at least two other thermal ports (one for each tube going through the borehole segment).

Note that the model is same as Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.Boreholes.BaseClasses.PartialInternalResistances, except that different borefield data record is used.
