Thermal Liquid Domain

Pumping system models in the thermal liquid domain

Thermal liquid networks undergo temperature and viscosity changes due to processes internal and external to a block or network. The fluid properties are a function of pressure and temperature.

Featured Examples

Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Hybrid Solar Panel

Model the cogeneration of electrical power and heat using a hybrid PV/T solar panel. The generated heat is transferred to water for household consumption.

Aircraft Fuel Supply System with Three Tanks

The fuel supply system represented in the example consists of three tanks and an engine. The tanks are connected by the fuel lines and the pressure drop in the fuel lines depends on the bank angle of the aircraft or the relative elevation of the ends of the fuel lines. The central tank bottom is elevated by 36 in with respect to the reference plane, which is drawn horizontally through the entry point of the engine. The side tank bottoms are elevated by 4.2 in each at zero bank angle.
