HeatFlowSensor

Heat flow rate sensor

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)

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{node\_a.T}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{node\_b.T}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{node\_a.Q}\left( t \right) + \mathtt{node\_b.Q}\left( t \right) &= 0 \\ Q\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{node\_a.Q}\left( t \right) \end{align} \]
