modelThermalConductor_Fluid

Thermal Conduction between two fluid layers (based on ThermalConductor from MSL)

Extends from Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Components.ThermalConductor (Lumped thermal element transporting heat without storing it).

Information

1. Purpose of model

Modeling the thermal conduction between two fluid layers of same height. The model extends the models ThermalConductor from the Modelica Standard Library (MSL)

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

Thermal conduction in fluid with constant specific heat condductivity considered.

3. Limits of validity

Thermal conduction in fluid with constant specific heat conductivity considered.

4. Interfaces

port_a: model gets temperature and gives the calculated heat flow back

port_b: model gets temperature and gives the calculated heat flow with changed sign back

5. Nomenclature

A_heat: Area of heat transfer

height_Seg: height of one fluid layer

k: Specific heat conductivity of fluid (0.6 means water)

6. Governing Equations

(no equations)

7. Remarks for Usage

(no remarks)

8. Validation

(no validation)

9. References
