modelExchanger

0D model of a heat exchanger between the HTF and the CO2

Extends from SolarTherm.Media.CO2.PropCO2.

Information

The exchanger is not divided in sub-HX, as the Cp of the CO2 is almost constant in this area (high pressure, high T). 

Closure equations are based on the equality of the energy exchanged and by imposing a pinch.

Parameter to integrate in the off-design PB is the UA_TLMD.
