ConvectiveResistance
IconConvectiveResistance
Lumped thermal element for heat convection with resistance as an input.
Usage
ConvectiveResistance()
Connectors
solid
- This connector represents a thermal node with temperature and heat flow as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Node
)fluid
- This connector represents a thermal node with temperature and heat flow as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Node
)Rc
- This connector represents a real signal as an input to a component (RealInput
)

Behavior
\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{{\Delta}T}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{solid.T}\left( t \right) - \mathtt{fluid.T}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{solid.Q}\left( t \right) &= Q\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{fluid.Q}\left( t \right) &= - Q\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{{\Delta}T}\left( t \right) &= Q\left( t \right) \mathtt{Rc}\left( t \right) \end{align} \]
