Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Celsius

Information

The components of this package are provided for the convenience of people working mostly with Celsius units, since all models in package HeatTransfer are based on Kelvin units.

Note, that in package SIunits.Conversions, functions are provided to convert between the units Kelvin, degree Celsius, degree Fahrenheit, and degree Rankine. These functions allow, e.g., a direct conversion of units at all places where Kelvin is required as parameter. Example:

    import SIunits.Conversions.*;
    Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.HeatCapacitor C(T0 = from_degC(20));

Extends from Modelica.Icons.VariantsPackage (Icon for package containing variants).

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
input RealInput	Celsius
output RealOutput	Kelvin

Modelica definition

model ToKelvin "Conversion block from degCelsius to Kelvin"

  Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealInput Celsius;
  Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealOutput Kelvin;
equation 
  Kelvin = from_degC(Celsius);
end ToKelvin;

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Celsius.FromKelvin

Information

This component converts an input signal from Kelvin to Celsius and provides is as output signal.

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
input RealInput	Kelvin
output RealOutput	Celsius

Modelica definition

model FromKelvin "Conversion from Kelvin to degCelsius"

  Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealInput Kelvin;
  Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealOutput Celsius;
equation 
  Celsius = to_degC(Kelvin);
end FromKelvin;

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Celsius.FixedTemperature

Information

This model defines a fixed temperature T at its port in [degC], i.e., it defines a fixed temperature as a boundary condition.

Parameters

Type	Name	Default	Description
Temperature_degC	T		Fixed Temperature at the port [degC]

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
HeatPort_b	port

Modelica definition

model FixedTemperature 
  "Fixed temperature boundary condition in degree Celsius"
  parameter Modelica.SIunits.Conversions.NonSIunits.Temperature_degC T 
    "Fixed Temperature at the port";
  Interfaces.HeatPort_b port;
equation 
  port.T = from_degC(T);
end FixedTemperature;

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Celsius.PrescribedTemperature

Information

This model represents a variable temperature boundary condition The temperature value in [degC] is given by the input signal to the model. The effect is that an instance of this model acts as an infinite reservoir able to absorb or generate as much energy as required to keep the temperature at the specified value.

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
HeatPort_b	port
input RealInput	T

Modelica definition

model PrescribedTemperature 
  "Variable temperature boundary condition in degCelsius"

  Interfaces.HeatPort_b port;
  Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealInput T;
equation 
  port.T = from_degC(T);
end PrescribedTemperature;

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Celsius.TemperatureSensor

Information

This is an ideal absolute temperature sensor which returns the temperature of the connected port in Celsius as an output signal. The sensor itself has no thermal interaction with whatever it is connected to. Furthermore, no thermocouple-like lags are associated with this sensor model.

Connectors
