modelControlVolumeEvaporation

Control volume model exhibiting the evaporation process of water

Extends from Buildings.DHC.BaseClasses.Steam.PartialSaturatedControlVolume.

Information

This model represents an evaporation process of water with liquid and vapor phases in equilibrium and at a saturated state. Further information regarding the model formulation and assumptions are in the base class Buildings.DHC.BaseClasses.Steam.PartialSaturatedControlVolume.
