modelDiscretizedCrossFlowHEX_FR

Discretized Heat Exchanger for single- or two-phase working fluid with pressure drop

Extends from Internal.PartialDiscretizedHEX.

Information

The cross-flow discretized heat exchanger uses a number of conduction elements (which is set by the parameter nCells) as discrete control volumes to exchange heat between two fluid streams. This model differs from DiscretizedCrossFlowHEX by introducing flow-resistances after each control volume, but otherwise is the same, therefore consider the documentation of DiscretizedCrossFlowHEX.

The flowResistances are parametrized by the parameters in the group laminar-turbulent flowRes.
