Common interface for heat transfer models

Information

This component is a common interface for heat transfer models. The heat flow rates Q_flows through the boundaries of nHT flow segments are obtained as function of the thermodynamic states of the flow segments for a given fluid Medium, the surfaceAreas and the boundary temperatures heatPorts.T.

The heat loss coefficient k can be used to model a thermal isolation between heatPorts.T and T_ambient.

An extending model implementing this interface needs to define one equation: the relation between the predefined fluid temperatures Ts, the boundary temperatures heatPorts.T, and the heat flow rates Q_flows.
