Modelica.Fluid.Pipes.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.PartialFlowHeatTransfer

base class for any pipe heat transfer correlation

Information

Base class for heat transfer models of flow devices.

The geometry is specified in the interface with the surfaceAreas[n], the roughnesses[n] and the lengths[n] along the flow path. Moreover the fluid flow is characterized for different types of devices by the characteristic dimensions[n+1] and the average velocities vs[n+1] of fluid flow. See Pipes.BaseClasses.CharacteristicNumbers.ReynoldsNumber for example definitions.

Modelica.Fluid.Pipes.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.LocalPipeFlowHeatTransfer

LocalPipeFlowHeatTransfer: Laminar and turbulent forced convection in pipes, local coefficients

Information

Heat transfer model for laminar and turbulent flow in pipes. Range of validity:

fully developed pipe flow
forced convection
one phase Newtonian fluid
(spatial) constant wall temperature in the laminar region
0 ≤ Re ≤ 1e6, 0.6 ≤ Pr ≤ 100, d/L ≤ 1
The correlation holds for non-circular pipes only in the turbulent region. Use diameter=4*crossArea/perimeter as characteristic length.

The correlation takes into account the spatial position along the pipe flow, which changes discontinuously at flow reversal. However, the heat transfer coefficient itself is continuous around zero flow rate, but not its derivative.
