Usage

HeatCapacitor(C, T0)

Parameters:

• node - (Node)

Variables

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} T\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{node.T}\left( t \right) \\ \frac{\mathrm{d} T\left( t \right)}{\mathrm{d}t} &= \mathtt{dT}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{dT}\left( t \right) &= \frac{\mathtt{node.Q}\left( t \right)}{C} \end{align} \]
