`PrescribedHeatFlow`

Prescribed 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 amount of heat is given by the input signal Q_flow into the model. The heat flows into the component to which the component PrescribedHeatFlow is connected, if the input signal is positive. If parameter alpha is > 0, the heat flow is multiplied by 1 + alpha*(port.T - T_ref) in order to simulate temperature dependent losses.

Usage

PrescribedHeatFlow(T_ref=293.15, alpha=0.0)

Parameters:

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

Connectors

node - (Node)
Q_flow - This connector represents a real signal as an input to a component (RealInput)

Behavior

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