modelHotWaterStorage_L2

Stratified hot water storage without spatial discretisation (based on analytic solution for output temperature at steady state)

Extends from TransiEnt.Basics.Icons.ThermalStorageBasic (Icon for thermal storage model).

Information

1. Purpose of model

Hot water storage without spatial discretisation (based on analytic solution for output temperature at steady state). Thermodynamic properties are calculated in dependance of the temperature.

2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight

(Purely technical component without physical modeling.)

3. Limits of validity

(Purely technical component without physical modeling.)

4. Interfaces

GenIn: inlet from heat generator

GenOut: outlet to heat generator

ConIn: inlet from heat consumer

ConOut: outlet to heat consumer

Q_flow_gen: generated heat flow [W]

T_Stor: output for temperature in heat reservoir in K [K]

5. Nomenclature

(no elements)

6. Governing Equations

mass balances

heat loss to environment

first law of thermodynamics

impulse balances
