modelCounterCurrentFEM
Counter-current heat transfer adaptor for 1D FEM heat exchangers
Extends from Icons.HeatFlow.
Information
This component can be used to model counter-current heat transfer. The temperature and flux vectors on one side are swapped with respect to the other side. This means that the temperature of node j on side 1 is equal to the temperature of note N-j+1 on side 2; heat fluxes behave correspondingly.
The swapping is performed if the counterCurrent parameter is true (default value).
