This component determines the mass flow rates of both the receiver and power block mass flow rates. The variable m_guess calculates the required receiver mass flow to achieve target outlet temperature T_target based on inlet enthalpy from either storage bottom outlet, PB outlet or a combination of both. Depending on whether the storage is allowed to charge, discharge and relative size of m_guess wrt minimum flowrate and PB design flowrate, one of the 6 operating states is chosen.
