Heater / Cooler

Changes stream temperature to a specified value.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Unit	Description
outletT	Quantity	°C, K, °F	Target temperature

Calculation

Q = ṅ × (H_out - H_in)

export function solveHeater(inlet: StreamData, params: { outletT: number }) {
  const H_in = getMixtureEnthalpy(inlet.composition, inlet.T);
  const H_out = getMixtureEnthalpy(inlet.composition, params.outletT);
  const duty = inlet.flow * (H_out - H_in);
  
  return {
    outlet: { ...inlet, T: params.outletT, H: H_out },
    duty
  };
}

Example

const heaterBlock = {
  id: 'heater-1',
  type: 'Heater',
  params: { outletT: { value: 100, unit: 'C' } }
};
