ThermalTank

The ThermalTank element estimates the performance of a simple tank. This tank contains a mass and temperature state during transient operation. For steady-state operation temperature is passed through and mass is kept constant. The pressure loss is calculated by the S_dP socket (or input by the user if this socket is empty).

Usage

  • The thermal tank element calculates a pressure drop.

  • The pressure drop can either be input or calculated from a subelement.

  • Mass and temperature are tracked by states during transient operation

  • Flow can either be input as a value or passed through from Fl_I.
