Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation
Collection of validation models
Information
This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.
Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.
Extends from Modelica.Icons.ExamplesPackage (Icon for packages containing runnable examples).

Validation model for the dynamic response for one and multiple beams |
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeams
Information
This model validates the scaling of the heat tranfer and pressure drop for
nBeams > 1.
It uses two instances of
Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.CoolingAndHeating,
one with
nBeams = 1 and one with
nBeams = 10.
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integer | nBeams | 10 | Number of beams |

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeamsDynamics
Validation model for the dynamic response for one and multiple beams
Information
This model validates whether the transient response is indeed independent of the number of beams. The model is similar to Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeams, except that it is configured with a dynamic balance and non-default initial conditions.
Extends from NumberOfBeams.
