connectorHeatPort_a

Thermal port for 1-D heat transfer

Extends from HeatPort (Thermal port for 1-D heat transfer).

Information

Hypothesis and equations

This connector is used for 1-dimensional heat flow between components. The variables in the connector are:

    T       Temperature in [Kelvin].
    Q_flow  Heat flow rate in [Watt].

According to the Modelica sign convention, a positive heat flow rate Q_flow is considered to flow into a component. This convention has to be used whenever this connector is used in a model class.

Note, that the two connector classes HeatPort_a and HeatPort_b are identical with the only exception of the different icon layout.
