Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.HeatPort

Thermal port for 1-dim. heat transfer

Information

Contents

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.HeatPort_a

Thermal port for 1-dim. heat transfer (filled rectangular icon)

Information

This connector is used for 1-dimensional heat flow between components. The variables in the connector are:

T       Temperature in [Kelvin].
Q_flow  Heat flow rate in [Watt].

According to the Modelica sign convention, a positive heat flow rate Q_flow is considered to flow into a component. This convention has to be used whenever this connector is used in a model class.

Note, that the two connector classes HeatPort_a and HeatPort_b are identical with the only exception of the different icon layout.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.Element1D

Partial heat transfer element with two HeatPort connectors that does not store energy

Information

This partial model contains the basic connectors and variables to allow heat transfer models to be created that do not store energy, This model defines and includes equations for the temperature drop across the element, dT, and the heat flow rate through the element from port_a to port_b, Q_flow.

By extending this model, it is possible to write simple constitutive equations for many types of heat transfer components.

Connectors

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.PartialElementaryConditionalHeatPort

Partial model to include a conditional HeatPort in order to dissipate losses, used for textual modeling, i.e., for elementary models

Information

This partial model provides a conditional heat port for dissipating losses.

• If useHeatPort is set to false (default), no heat port is available, and the thermal loss power is dissipated internally. In this case, the parameter T specifies the fixed device temperature (the default for T = 20°C)
• If useHeatPort is set to true, the heat port is available.

If this model is used, the loss power has to be provided by an equation in the model which inherits from PartialElementaryConditionalHeatPort model (lossPower = ...). The device temperature TheatPort can be used to describe the influence of the device temperature on the model behaviour.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.PartialElementaryConditionalHeatPortWithoutT

Partial model to include a conditional HeatPort in order to dissipate losses, used for textual modeling, i.e., for elementary models

Information

This partial model provides a conditional heat port for dissipating losses.

• If useHeatPort is set to false (default), no heat port is available, and the thermal loss power is dissipated internally.
• If useHeatPort is set to true, the heat port is available and must be connected from the outside.

If this model is used, the loss power has to be provided by an equation in the model which inherits from the PartialElementaryConditionalHeatPortWithoutT model (lossPower = ...).

Note, this partial model is used in cases, where heatPort.T (that is the device temperature) is not utilized in the model. If this is desired, inherit instead from partial model PartialElementaryConditionalHeatPort.

Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.PartialConditionalHeatPort

Partial model to include a conditional HeatPort in order to dissipate losses, used for graphical modeling, i.e., for building models by drag-and-drop

This partial model provides a conditional heat port for dissipating losses.

• If useHeatPort is set to false (default), no heat port is available, and the thermal loss power is dissipated internally. In this case, the parameter T specifies the fixed device temperature (the default for T = 20°C)
• If useHeatPort is set to true, the heat port is available.

If this model is used, the internalHeatPort has to be connected in the model which inherits from PartialElementaryConditionalHeatPort model. The device temperature internalHeatPort.T can be used to describe the influence of the device temperature on the model behaviour.
