Information

Nodal model of a stratified tank with an internal heat exchanger and ambient heat losses. This model is adapted from the ThermoCycle library. The water tank is modeled using the energy and mass conservation principles and assuming thermodynamic equilibrium at all times inside the control volume. The following hypotheses are applied:

• No heat transfer between the different nodes
• The internal heat exchanger is discretized in the same way as the tank: each cell of the heat exchanger corresponds to one cell of the tank and exchanges heat with that cell only.
• Incompressible fluid in both the tank and the heat exchanger
• Axial thermal conductivity is neglected

The tank is discretized using a modified version of the incompressible Cell1Dim model adding an additional heat port (i.e. Cell1DimInc_2ports). The heat exchanger is modeled using the Flow1DimInc component and a wall component.
