Description

Block Heat Flow Rate Sensor It is an ideal heat flow meter, that is, a device that converts the heat flow passing through it into a signal proportional to this flow. The meter must be connected in series with the component through which the heat flow is to be measured.

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

Ports

A — port A
warm

The thermal port corresponding to the positive input of the sensor.

B — port B
warm

The thermal port corresponding to the negative input of the sensor.

Output

H — pass output port:q[<br>] scalar

The output port of the heat flow signal.
