Description
Block Specific Dissipation Heat Exchanger (TL) simulates the cooling and heating of heat carriers through thermal conduction through a thin wall. Heat exchange between heat carriers is based on contact heat exchange with a heat-conducting liquid.
The heat transfer model
Heat transfer according to a simple model is based on the relative magnitude of heat transfer:
where
-
— the relative value of heat transfer, depending on the mass flow rate of the heat-conducting liquid and the controlled flow;
-
— temperature of the heat-conducting liquid at the inlet;
-
— the temperature of the regulated inlet flow.
The simple model is based on linear interpolation of tabular data provided by the user and does not take into account the individual characteristics of the heat exchanger.

Specific dissipation table, SD(mdot1, mdot2) —
the relative value of heat transfer at each break point in the interpolation table of mass flow rates of a heat-conducting liquid and a regulated coolant
kW/K
Details
The relative value of heat transfer at each break point is shown in the interpolation table of mass flow rates of a heat-conducting liquid and a regulated coolant. The unit interpolates and extrapolates the values of the break points to obtain efficiency for any pair of mass flow rates of a heat-conducting liquid and a regulated coolant.
The values of the relative heat transfer value should not be negative. They must be aligned from top to bottom in the order of increasing mass flow in the channel for the heat-conducting liquid and from left to right in the order of increasing mass flow in the channel for the controlled coolant. The number of rows must be equal to the parameter size. Thermal Liquid mass flow rate vector, mdot1, and the number of columns corresponds to the size of the parameter Controlled fluid mass flow rate vector, mdot2.
If the heat transfer coefficients are specified in the technical data sheet of your heat exchanger, multiply the indicated heat transfer coefficients by the surface area to calculate the relative amount of heat transfer.

Check if violating maximum specific dissipation —
the status of the warning about the relative value of heat transfer exceeding the minimum flow heat capacity
None
| Error
Details
A warning about the relative heat transfer value exceeding the minimum flow heat capacity. The flow heat capacity is the product of mass flow and specific heat, and its minimum value is the smallest of the two flows. This minimum determines the relative amount of heat transfer for a heat exchanger with maximum efficiency and cannot be exceeded. For more information, see the description of the block.
