Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Fahrenheit

Information

The components of this package are provided for the convenience of people working mostly with Fahrenheit 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_degF(70));

Package Content

Name	Description
ToKelvin	Conversion block from degFahrenheit to Kelvin

TemperatureSensor	Absolute temperature sensor in degFahrenheit

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Fahrenheit.ToKelvin

Information

This component converts a input signal from degree Fahrenheit to Kelvin and provides is as output signal.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Fahrenheit.FromKelvin

Information

This component converts all input signals from Kelvin to Fahrenheit and provides them as output signals.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Fahrenheit.FixedTemperature

Information

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

Parameters

Name	Description
T	Fixed Temperature at the port [degF]

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Fahrenheit.PrescribedTemperature

Information

This model represents a variable temperature boundary condition The temperature value in [degF] 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.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Fahrenheit.TemperatureSensor

Information

This is an ideal absolute temperature sensor which returns the temperature of the connected port in Fahrenheit 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.
