Model that tests a heat exchanger model with reverse flow

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.Examples.HeaterCoolerPrescribed

Information

Model that tests the basic class that is used for the heater models. It adds and removes heat for forward and reverse flow. The top and bottom models should give similar results, although the sign of the temperature difference over the components differ because of the reverse flow. The model uses assert statements that will be triggered if results that are expected to be close to each other differ by more than a prescribed threshold. All temperature sensors are configured as steady-state sensors to avoid differences in temperature due to the dynamic response of the sensor.

Information

Model that tests the basic class that is used for the humidifier model. It adds and removes water for forward and reverse flow. The top and bottom models should give similar results, although the sign of the humidity difference over the components differ because of the reverse flow. The model uses assert statements that will be triggered if results that are expected to be close to each other differ by more than a prescribed threshold.

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.Examples.ReverseFlowMassExchanger

Model that tests the reverse flow for a mass exchanger

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.Examples.ReverseFlowMassExchanger

Information

This model tests whether the results for a mass exchanger are identical for forward flow and reverse flow. If the results differ, then an assert is triggered.

Note that if the latent heat transfer effectiveness is non-zero, then the results will differ. The reason is that the maximum capacity stream is computed using the mass flow rates at port_a1 and port_a2. For reverse flow, they are not equal if moisture is added to the mass flow rate. Using an average mass flow rate in computing the heat and moisture transfer would lead to identical results, but it would introduce additional nonlinear equations that need to be solved. Therefore, the model uses the mass flow rates at port_a1 and port_a2.

Note: This problem fails to translate in Dymola 2012 due to an error in Dymola's support of stream connector. This bug will be corrected in future versions of Dymola.
