compute_mixing_temperature(reservoir, state, coolant_line, delta_t, t_idx)[source]#

Computes the resultant temperature of the reservoir at each time step with coolant exchanging heat to the environment.

Parameters:

  • reservoir (dict) – Reservoir Data Structure - reservoir.surface_area - reservoir.volume - reservoir.thickness - reservoir.material.conductivity - reservoir.material.emissivity - reservoir.coolant

  • state (dict) – State Data Structure - state.conditions.freestream.temperature - state.conditions.energy.coolant_line[reservoir.tag].coolant_temperature

  • coolant_line (dict) – Coolant Line Data Structure

  • delta_t (float) – Time step

  • t_idx (int) – Time index

Returns:

Updated temperature of the reservoir coolant

Return type:

float

Assumptions:

N/A

Source:

None
