Annex60.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation

Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.

Annex60.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeamsDynamics

Information

This model validates whether the transient response is indeed independent of the number of beams. The model is similar to Annex60.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeams, except that it is configured with a dynamic balance and non-default initial conditions.
