Heat Flow Rate Source

A constant source of heat flux.

heat flow rate source

Description

The Heat Flow Rate Source unit represents an ideal heat source, powerful enough to maintain a given heat flow at the output regardless of temperature differences at the source.

The source generates a constant heat flow determined by the Heat flow rate.

Ports

A - source input
heat

Heat port corresponding to the source input.

B - source output
heat

Heat port corresponding to the source output.

Parameters

Heat flow rate - heat flow through the source
0.0 (by default)

Constant heat flow through the source. Positive heat flow flows from port A to port B.
