TemperatureSensor

Measures the absolute temperature at a thermal node.

This component represents an ideal sensor that measures the absolute temperature from a thermal Node. The temperature at the node is directly provided as a RealOutput signal. The sensor is considered ideal because it imposes no thermal load on the system it is connected to, which is enforced by the equation node.Q = 0. The output temperature T is thus defined as:

$$T=node.T$$

And the heat flow at the node is:

$$node.Q=0$$

Usage

TemperatureSensor()

Connectors

• node - This connector represents a thermal node with temperature and heat flow as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Node)

• T - This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput)

Behavior

$$\begin{array}{rl}T\left(t\right)& =\mathtt{node}\mathtt{.}\mathtt{T}\left(t\right)\\ \mathtt{node}\mathtt{.}\mathtt{Q}\left(t\right)& =0\end{array}$$
