[TRNSYS-users] Detailed description of the TESS Type 534 (vertical storage tank)

[valentin.gavan at gdfsuez.com]

Dear TRNSYS users,

I am using Type 534 from TESS to simulate the behavior of different solar systems and I have some difficulties in finding detailed information about this type, especially on the user supplied parameters like:

-       Multiplier for natural convection correlation,

-       Exponent for Rayleigh number,

-       Geometry factor,

-       Geometry factor exponent,

-       Header volume,

-       Cross sectional area.

In the type description file this parameters are not explained.

Anyone of you knows what are the usual values of this parameters and their influence for a usual storage tank ?

Thank you in advance,
