HeatFlowSensor
IconHeatFlowSensor
Measures the rate of heat flow between two thermal connection points.
This component represents an ideal thermal sensor that quantifies the heat flow rate passing from node_a
to node_b
. It introduces no temperature drop between its connection points (node_a.T = node_b.T
) and has no thermal energy storage (node_a.Q + node_b.Q = 0
). The output signal Q
represents the heat flow rate from node_a
to node_b
.
The key behaviors are defined by:
\[Q = \text{node_a.Q} \text{node_a.Q} + \text{node_b.Q} = 0 \text{node_a.T} = \text{node_b.T}\]
Usage
HeatFlowSensor()
Connectors
Q
- This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput
)node_a
- This connector represents a thermal node with temperature and heat flow as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Node
)node_b
- This connector represents a thermal node with temperature and heat flow as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Node
)
