Heat Flow Rate Sensor

The ideal heat flux meter.

heat flow rate sensor

Description

The Heat Flow Rate Sensor unit represents an ideal heat flow meter, i.e. a device that converts the heat flow through it into a signal proportional to that flow. The meter must be connected in series with the component whose heat flux is to be measured.

A and B are thermal ports. Port H - a signal whose value is equal to the measured value of the heat flux. The positive direction of the block is from port A to port B.

Ports

A - port A
`heat

Heat port corresponding to the positive sensor input.

B - port B
heat

Heat port corresponding to the negative sensor input.

Output

H - output port
scalar

Heat flux signal output port.
