modelEddyCurrentBrake
Demonstrate the usage of the rotational eddy current brake
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).
Information
An eddy current brake reduces the speed of a rotating inertia. Kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy which leads to a temperature increase of the thermal capacitance of the brake, which can be assumed as adiabatic during the rather short time span of the braking.
