modelThermalBridge

Linear thermal bridge model

Information

Hypothesis and equations

Model based on the basic component ThermalConductor.

The thermal conductance G is calculated with the following equation :

    G = k*L
    k: Thermal conductivity [W/(m.K)]
    L: Length of the thermal bridge [m]
