HeatTransferFromHeatStructure1Phase
This component is both a single-phase heat transfer component and a heat structure boundary. It specifies a convective heat exchange between a FlowChannel1Phase and a 2D heat structure.
Usage
The user must supply the name of the connected flow channel via the parameter "flow_channel".
The parameter "P_hf" is optional and specifies the heated perimeter ; if unspecified, this is computed from the cross-sectional area assuming a circular cross section.
The parameter "Hw" is optional and specifies the heat transfer coefficient ; if unspecified, it is computed using the selected closures. Note that depending on the type of heat transfer and the chosen closures, it may not be relevant.
The parameter "hs" specifies the name of the connected heat structure, and "hs_side" specifies the side of the connected heat structure that is coupled to the flow channel.
commentnote:Flow channel alignment
The flow channel axis must be parallel to the heat structure axis and have the same discretization along their axes.
The parameter "scale" specifies the name of a functor that can scale the heat flux, for example, a functor material property created with FinEnhancementFactorFunctorMaterial for heat transfer enhancement due to fins.

Formulation
This component implements a convective heat exchange between the flow channel and heat structure, with the flow channel receiving the following wall heat flux:
where is the heat transfer coefficient, is the heat structure surface temperature, is the fluid temperature, and is an optional scaling factor. On the heat structure side, the incoming boundary flux is the opposite of that going into the flow channel:

# Tests that energy conservation is satisfied in 1-phase flow when there are
# multiple heat structures are connected to the same pipe.
#
# This problem has 2 heat structures with different material properties and
# initial conditions connected to the same flow channel, which has solid wall
# boundary conditions at both ends. An ideal gas equation of state is used for
# the fluid:
# e(T) = cv * T
# From energy conservation, an analytic expression for the steady-state
# temperature results:
# (rho(p,T)*e(T)*V)_fluid + (rho*cp*T*V)_hs1 + (rho*cp*T*V)_hs2 = constant
# The following are constant:
# V_i domain volumes for flow channel and heat structures
# rho_fluid fluid density (due to conservation of mass)
# rho_hsi heat structure densities
# cp_hsi heat structure specific heats
# Furthermore, all volumes are set equal to 1. Therefore the expression for the
# steady-state temperature is the following:
# T = E0 / C0
# where
# E0 = (rho(p0,T0)*e(T0))_fluid + (rho*cp*T0)_hs1 + (rho*cp*T0)_hs2
# C0 = (rho(p0,T0)*cv)_fluid + (rho*cp)_hs1 + (rho*cp)_hs2
#
# An ideal gas is defined by (gamma, R), and the relation between R and cv is as
# follows:
# cp = gamma * R / (gamma - 1)
# cv = cp / gamma = R / (gamma - 1)
# For the EOS parameters
# gamma = 1.0001
# R = 100 J/kg-K
# the relevant specific heat is
# cv = 1e6 J/kg-K
#
# For the initial conditions
# p = 100 kPa
# T = 300 K
# the density and specific internal energy should be
# rho = 3.3333333333333 kg/m^3
# e = 300000000 J/kg
#
# The following heat structure parameters are used:
# T0_hs1 = 290 K T0_hs2 = 310 K
# rho_hs1 = 8000 kg/m^3 rho_hs2 = 6000 kg/m^3
# cp_hs1 = 500 J/kg-K cp_hs2 = 600 J/kg-K
#
# E0 = 1e9 + 8000 * 500 * 290 + 6000 * 600 * 310
# = 3276000000 J
# C0 = 3.3333333333333e6 + 8000 * 500 + 6000 * 600
# = 10933333.3333333 J/K
# T = E0 / C0
# = 3276000000 / 10933333.3333333

# THM sends massflux and temperature at the inlet of the core, and pressure at the outlet of the core

# This input file models an open, recuperated Brayton cycle with a PID
# controlled start up using a coupled motor.
#
# Heat is supplied to the system by a volumetric heat source, and a second heat
# source is used to model a recuperator. The recuperator transfers heat from the
# turbine exhaust gas to the compressor outlet gas.
#
# Initially the fluid and heat structures are at rest at ambient conditions,
# and the shaft speed is zero.
# The transient is controlled as follows:
# * 0 - 2000 s: Motor increases shaft speed to approx. 85,000 RPM by PID control
# * 1000 - 8600 s: Power in main heat source increases from 0 - 104 kW
# * 2000 - 200000 s: Torque supplied by turbine increases to steady state level
# as working fluid temperature increases. Torque supplied by
# the motor is ramped down to 0 N-m transitioning shaft control
# to the turbine at its rated speed of 96,000 RPM.

# This test tests the loop identification function, which creates a map of component
# names to a loop name. "Loops" are defined to be sets of components which are
# physically connected - heat exchanger connections do not constitute physical
# connections in this sense. Note that this test is not meant to actually perform
# any physical computations, so dummy values are provided for the required parameters.
#
# The test configuration for this test is the following:
#
# pipe1 -> corechannel:pipe -> pipe2 -> hx:primary -> pipe1
# j1 j2 j3 j4
#
# inlet -> hx:secondary -> outlet
#
# This test uses the command-line option "--print-component-loops" to print out
# the lists of components in each loop, with the desired output being the
# following:
#
# Loop 1:
#
# corechannel:pipe
# hx:primary
# j1
# j2
# j3
# j4
# pipe1
# pipe2
#
# Loop 2:
#
# hx:secondary
# inlet
