I would like to model a pipe immersed in a fluid cavity to study the heat transfer between the two fluids. I modeled this by using two DynamicPipe connected to the same WallConstProp but I'm not sure it is a correct way to model it. My question is : is there a specific component available in the MSL to model such a configuration or should I look in other libraries ?
Best regards, Maxime
There is no such component for the heat transfer of a pipe to a surrounding fluid in the Modelica Standard Library as far as I know. If you only need heat transfer orthogonal to the flow in the wall then it is a good assumption to model both fluids with a pipe connected via a heat transfer. You can create your own heat transfer model based e.g. on a Nusselt correlation in order to model the heat transfer to a surrounding fluid for the second pipe.
The MSL offers basic components to provide a common basis for all Modelica users and works as a starting point. Specific applications can be covered by specific commercial or open source libraries.
