Partial model of storage geometry

Information

1. Purpose of model

Base model for the shape of 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 shape of the hot water storage has to be descretized in segments of same height.

4. Interfaces

(no remarks)

5. Nomenclature


height: Height of tank


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


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


height_Seg(calculated) : Height of one storage segment
