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.
