Temperature

When the flow throughout the entire network is known, the temperature in the network can be calculated.

The cooling at a consumer can be described as follows if the heat power is known:

 

Where:

E        =       given heat power [W

C_P       =       thermal capacitivity of the water [J/kg/C

Q        =       mass flow [kg/s

 

The outlet temperature in a pipe is calculated on the basis of the following expression:

Where:

Where:

C_h       =       total heat transfer coefficient [W/m/C

C_P       =       4190 [J/kg/C
