Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.Examples.MixingVolumePrescribedHeatFlowRate Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.Examples.MixingVolumePrescribedHeatFlowRate

Test model for heat transfer to volume

Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.Examples.MixingVolumePrescribedHeatFlowRate

Information

This model demonstrates the use of the mixing volume with a prescribed heat flow rate. The mixing volume is configured as a steady-state model. The heat flow rate is set to a very small value. This model is used to test convergence for the case the prescribed heat flow rate should be zero, but due to numerical solutions, it may have a small error that causes the signal to be non-zero.
