modelSimpleFictitiousWall

Model of a simple fictitious wall to compute compressor's heat losses

Information

This is a model of a fictitious wall that describes the shell of the compressor. It consists of four heat ports, i.e. for the inlet and outlet of the compressor as well as for the ambient and compression chamber. It is assumed that the wall consists of a time invariante heat capacity; additionally, it is assumed that the thermal conductance for the calculation of the heat flow between ambient and fictitious wall is also time invariante.
