modelCubic_Geometry

Cubic geometry extending the partial_Geometry

Extends from TransiEnt.Storage.Heat.HotWaterStorage_L4.Base.Partial_Geometry (Partial model of storage geometry).

Information

1. Purpose of model

Cylindric geometry for the one dimensional hot water storage. The model delivers shape informations for all segments.

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

No physical effects considered.

3. Limits of validity

The cylindric geometry is discretized in segments of same height.

4. Interfaces

(no remarks)

5. Nomenclature

Needed

volume: Volume of the storage

height: Height of storage

length: Length of the storage

nSeg: Number of vertical storage segments (min = 2)

Calculated


height_Seg: Height of one storage segment volume_Seg[nSeg]: Volumes of the storage segments


A_wall[nSeg]: Areas of wall around the storage segments


A_top: Top area of storage


A_bottom: Bottom area of storage


A_cross[nSeg-1]: Cross-sectional areas between the segements of the storage
