Description

Law for linear heat advection diffusion 1D element (only for HEATX element)

The model

This law is used in combination with the finite element HEATX. The purpose is the modeling of simplified equations of advection-diffusion of heat in a pipe. A lateral heat flow with the surrounding medium is also taken into account. See GEOTHERWAL reports or more information on the formulation.

Parameters defining the type of constitutive law

Line 1 (2I5, 60A1)
ILLaw number
ITYPE 108
COMMENT Any comment (up to 60 characters) that will be reproduced on the output listing

Integer parameters

Line 1 (3I5)
ITYPEtype of lateral of lateral heat exchange (only one case up to now)
IBOUNDtype of boundary:
= 0 → no boundary
= 1 → free flow boundary, the fluid runs out of the pipe (necessary at the end of an open pipe)
= 2 → loop boundary, the fluid that runs out of the pipe is injected at the beginning of another segment
IDEP fluid velocity v or heat power $Q_P$
= 1 → depends of DMULT and FMULT respectively
= 0 → are constant

Real parameters

Line 1 (9G10.0)
RHO specific mass of the fluid inside the pipe $\left[kg/m^3\right]$
COND conductivity of the fluid inside the pipe $\left[W/m/K\right]$

v velocity of the fluid $\left[m/s\right]$
TREF reference temperature for the computation of advection flux $\left[K\right]$
