ThermalComponents

This is the documentation for the ThermalComponents library. Here you will find the documentation for the various definitions contained in ThermalComponents.

Note that this documentation is automatically generated primarily from the doc strings and metadata associated with those definitions.

Types

• ConvectiveElement1D - ConvectiveElement1D is baseclass for 1D convective heat transfer elements, defining temperature drop and heat flow between solid and fluid interfaces without energy storage.
• Element1D - Element1D is partial one-dimensional thermal element for models without energy storage.

Components

• BodyRadiation - BodyRadiation models radiative heat transfer between two surfaces.
• Convection - Models heat transfer by convection where the thermal conductance is a signal input.
• ConvectiveResistance - ConvectiveResistance is 1D thermal convective element with a dynamically supplied thermal resistance.
• FixedHeatFlow - Fixed heat flow boundary condition, potentially temperature-dependent.
• FixedTemperature - Defines a fixed temperature boundary condition at its port.
• HeatCapacitor - Represents a lumped thermal element that stores heat energy.
• HeatFlowSensor - Measures the rate of heat flow between two thermal connection points.
• HeatSystemTest - Models a thermal system with a fixed temperature source heating a heat capacitor via a conductor; serves as a test component.
• PrescribedHeatFlow - Models a prescribed heat flow rate at a thermal port, with optional temperature dependency.
• PrescribedTemperature - Imposes a specified temperature at a thermal connection point.
• RelativeTemperatureSensor - Measures the temperature difference between two thermal nodes.
• TemperatureSensor - Measures the absolute temperature at a thermal node.
• ThermalConductor - Lumped thermal element for heat conduction without thermal energy storage.
• ThermalResistor - Represents a pure thermal resistance relating temperature difference to heat flow rate.

Tests

• TemperatureOfTwoMassesTest - Test component for simulating heat exchange between two masses and verifying temperature sensor readings.
