modelThermalResistor

Lumped thermal element transporting heat without storing it

Extends from Interfaces.Element1D (Partial heat transfer element with two HeatPort connectors that does not store energy).

Information

This is a model for transport of heat without storing it, same as the ThermalConductor but using the thermal resistance instead of the thermal conductance as a parameter. This is advantageous for series connections of ThermalResistors, especially if it shall be allowed that a ThermalResistance is defined to be zero (i.e. no temperature difference).
