Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Sources.FixedTemperature

Information

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

Parameters

Type	Name	Default	Description
Temperature	T		Fixed temperature at port [K]

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
HeatPort_b	port

Modelica definition

model FixedTemperature 
  "Fixed temperature boundary condition in Kelvin"

  parameter Modelica.SIunits.Temperature T "Fixed temperature at port";
  Interfaces.HeatPort_b port;
equation 
  port.T = T;
end FixedTemperature;

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Sources.PrescribedTemperature

Information

This model represents a variable temperature boundary condition. The temperature in [K] is given as input signal T 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.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Sources.FixedHeatFlow

Information

This model allows a specified amount of heat flow rate to be "injected" into a thermal system at a given port. The constant amount of heat flow rate Q_flow is given as a parameter. The heat flows into the component to which the component FixedHeatFlow is connected, if parameter Q_flow is positive.

If parameter alpha is > 0, the heat flow is mulitplied by (1 + alpha*(port.T - T_ref)) in order to simulate temperature dependent losses (which are given an reference temperature T_ref).

Parameters

Type	Name	Default	Description
HeatFlowRate	Q_flow		Fixed heat flow rate at port [W]
Temperature	T_ref	293.15	Reference temperature [K]
LinearTemperatureCoefficient	alpha	0	Temperature coefficient of heat flow rate [1/K]

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Sources.PrescribedHeatFlow

Information

This model allows a specified amount of heat flow rate to be "injected" into a thermal system at a given port. The amount of heat is given by the input signal Q_flow into the model. The heat flows into the component to which the component PrescribedHeatFlow is connected, if the input signal is positive.

If parameter alpha is > 0, the heat flow is mulitplied by (1 + alpha*(port.T - T_ref)) in order to simulate temperature dependent losses (which are given an reference temperature T_ref).
