[TRNSYS-users] variable stradified tank model

[David BRADLEY]

Dear Mr. Akba,
   I think that you would have to modify one of the existing components 
using a Fortran compiler in order to model a stratified variable volume 
tank. One complexity that you need to think about is how you will treat 
the volume of the nodes as the liquid volume changes. Will the liquid 
always be divided up into the same number of nodes regardless of the 
total current liquid volume? Or will the number of nodes vary while the 
volume of each node stays the same?
Kind regards,
  David
