Revisions

  • November 10, 2021, by Hongxiang Fu:
    The heating power output of the boiler is now corrected by its heat loss to the ambient. This is for #2725.
  • October 4, 2021, by Hongxiang Fu:
    Renamed from the old Buildings.Fluid.Boilers.BoilerPolynomial and with the efficiency specification removed. This is for #2651.
