modelCounterFlowNTU
Counter flow heat exchanger using the epsilon-NTU method
Extends from ThermofluidStream.HeatExchangers.Internal.PartialNTU.
Information
Basic model of a counter-flow heat exchanger based on the effectiveness-NTU method.
The equations are derived from the generic effectiveness-NTU relations which can be found in the "VDI Wärmeatlas" and noumerous standard literature.
For stream dominated applications the following assumptions are made for mass flow regularization close to zero:
- if the mass flow on both sides of the heat exchanger is zero, no heat is transferred
Heat exchanger time constant
See the documentation of the model PartialNTU for further information.
