Description

Block Heat Flow Rate Source It is an ideal source of thermal energy, powerful enough to maintain a given heat flow at the outlet regardless of the temperature difference at the source.

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

Ports

A — input of the pass source:q[<br>] heat

The thermal port corresponding to the source input.

B — pass source output:q[<br>] heat

The thermal 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.
