[TRNSYS-users] Tank loss

[Jeff Thornton]

The tank loss coefficient dictates the heat loss from the tank.  The losses from the tank are simply:Tank Loss Coefficient * Tank Surface Area * (Tank temperature - Environment temperature)Refer to the mathematical description manual for questions like this as the manual gives the governing equations for the models and helps answer questions like this.  The lower the tank loss coefficient the lower the thermal losses from the tank and the longer the fluid in the tank will remain above your critical threshold temperature.Jeff Thornton  President - TESS, LLC   22 North Carroll Street - Suite 370 Madison WI 53703 USA   Phone: 608-274-2577  Fax: 608-278-1475  E-mail: thornton at tess-inc.com  Web: www.tess-inc.com    ----- Original Message -----From: "Muhammad Farooq" >;engr_farooq85 at yahoo.com
