6. Governing Equations

Calculates the necessary mass flow for a constant dT between supply and return:

Q = m * cp * dT

7. Remarks for Usage

Due to the simple nature of the model it is important to have a realistic supply temperature such that the return temperature doesn't fall below possible values.
