Summary for: FlowHeatSinkConnection < Node2NodeConnection

Class summary

FlowHeatSinkConnection Coolant flow acting as a heat sink.

The FlowHeatSinkConnection class is intended to model heat rejection into a coolant, with the coolant temperature rise equal to heat_flow ** this.coolant_mass_flow ** this.coolant_specific_heat, where the temperature rise is equal to the temperature difference between this.node1 and this.node2.

Please note that this model is very simple, and e.g. differing coolant temperatures in different parts of the coolant circuit are not modelled.
