modelFixedTransferEfficiency

Model with fixed transfer efficiency

Information

This model assumes a fixed transfer efficiency eta in the direction of the actual (positive) energy flow.

The actual (positive) direction of energy flow is indicated by arrows on icon layer.

Note that the case eta = 0, E_flow_in ≤ 0 (which implies E_flow_out = E_flow_dissipation) is not well-defined.
