`FixedHeatFlow`

Fixed heat flow boundary condition.

This model allows a specified amount of heat flow rate to be "injected" into a thermal system at a given port. The constant amount of heat flow rate Q is given as a parameter. The heat flows into the component to which the component FixedHeatFlow is connected, if parameter Q is positive.

Usage

FixedHeatFlow(Q, T_ref=293.15, alpha=0.0)

Parameters:

Name	Description	Units	Default value
`Q`	Fixed heat flow rate at port	W
`T_ref`	Reference temperature	K	293.15
`alpha`	Temperature coefficient of heat flow rate	1/K	0

Connectors

node - (Node)

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{node.Q}\left( t \right) &= - Q \left( 1 + \left( - \mathtt{T\_ref} + \mathtt{node.T}\left( t \right) \right) \mathtt{alpha} \right) \end{align} \]
