[TRNSYS-users] a problem with the pipe (type31) algorithm

[Jeff Thornton]

Pengfei Han, 

Are you sure you have everything hooked up correctly and are watching
the pipe output temperature and not the average temperature? When I
perform the indicated test in TRNSYS 18 I get exactly as I expect - see
attached image.

However, in trnsys, the outlet temperature of the pipe changes immediately regardless of the length of the pipe setting. As shown in the figure below, in a 1km pipe, when the input temperature changes by a step, the outlet temperature changes immediately. Is there a solution to this problem?
